Brent, 

You need to install 100 hours interval between cleanings if you 
are not using SSO feature. Otherwise you need right now clean your tape 
drives manually to keep yourself out of trouble.
NBU doesn't clean your DLT tape drives by request from tape drives
and can't handle AutoClean feature.
We've seen slowed backups by 5 times on "dirty" DLT tape drives which 
we didn't clean for 4 months 



Thanks,
Andrew
