I had read on this list about recycling a cloned volume deleting the index
entries for the original savesets.  I tested this and in fact it did.  But you
have to be very careful about semantics here.  The action of Volumes ->
Change Mode -> Recyclable on a volume is what trashes the savesets.  I make no
claim on what happens when you do Volume -> Remove.  And your direction of
"delete the volume" indeed does match the man page for nsrmm, but it is not
specific about what happens when you do that with a clone tape.

As Davina pointed out, you can relabel a clone tape and the original savesets
are not affected.  I tested this out yesterday as it is much easier than
waiting for my script to delete the individual ssid/cloneid on a tape.
