No.  Every clone of a saveset (including the original) have the same
SSID, but they have separate cloneids.

mminfo -av -q 'ssid=xxxxx' -r 'volume,ssid,cloneid'

should display information about all clones of a particular saveset.

Also "cloning" should never make use of a backup pool.  A standard clone
should only go into a clone pool.

Hmmm...
