Being that tight, I would suggest you do not look at reclaimation, think move data. That way you can pick a volume, and move it to reclaim the space, then build on that until there is enough space to let reclaimation take over. Reclaim sometimes is not as predictable as you would like. Also consider re-use delay changes.
As for a place to write. Either you will need to locate a scratch tape or make one tape scratch.

I am in kind of a tight spot and we have had numerous Admins leave recently all at once. TSM server has not been attended to lately as it should and has gotten out of hand... so no there is literally NO disk or tape space anywhere that I can temporarily use.... There would be space if reclamation ran, because I have a lot of reclaimable space, but there is nowhere for the reclamation process to put the files that are good on the reclaimable volumes.... I'm kind of stuck here. Thomas Taylor System Administrator Jos. A.

That will allow reclamation to use space emporarily in the referenced pool.
