Hans,

one way to check if the saveset is realy bad is to use the scanner command to 
actually read the data and verify that it is readable

furthermore check the state with 

mminfo -q'ssid=<savesetid>' -r'ssflags'

it should mention v and F for valid and Finished

================ from man mminfo ======================
     ssflags     NA           7  The save set flags summary, one or more
                                 characters in the set CvrSENRiIF, for
                                 continued, valid, purged (recoverable),
                                 scanned-in (rolled-in), eligible for
                                 recycling, NDMP generated, raw, incomplete,
                                 in-progress and finished (ended),
                                 respectively.

Hope it helps
