If the tape has an aborted saveset and has marked the tape as full, just mark 
the volume as appendable. New data will be written after the aborted saveset.

BUT you need to ask yourself why you have an aborted saveset in the first place!

If it doesn't work from the GUI there's very little chance it will work from 
nsrmm. The GUI is only calling nsrmm anyway.

Sometimes a load of garbage gets written when a session is aborted so it might 
not be able to get past that.

What's the big deal over a part of one tape anyway? Tapes are cheap.
