[Networker] Cloning Problems - tape ineligible for this operation

All:

If anyone has seen this problem or knows of a solution I would love to hear
it.  I am using Solstice Backup 5.5.4 build 333 on Solaris 8 and this
weekend I started to have problems with normal cloning.

Background:

Every month we run fulls and then using mminfo I grab a list of the
completed full saveset ID's and output them into a file named SSIDLIST.  I
then pass that to nsrclone -v -b 'GroupName Clone' -S -f $SSIDLIST and the
clones start.

The problem is that this month clones started for a machine prior to the
backup being completed so it cloned only the savesets that were completed
already.  Since things got all backed up, I kill some clone jobs that were
waiting and restarted the Networker server.  I then tried to run clones for
a group X.  Group X uses tapes named X.clone.### and a volume report shows
three tapes append but Networker insists on using tapes that are not in the
jukebox.  The jukebox contains the following tapes for that group

x.clone.005             16G written             appen
x.clone.006             0                       appen
x.clone.019             0                       appen

When the clone job starts it load the read tape in one jukebox but suggests
loading x.clone.018 to write to.  I manually mount a tape from the above
list and get the error "media notice: Volume `x.clone.005' ineligible for
this operation; Need a different volume from pool `x Full Clone'".  The
output of daemon.log is below.  Any help to reconcile this problem would be
appreciated.  Read tape is in /dev/rmt/4cbn and write tape is in
/dev/rmt/1cbn.
