What do you mean by "reported as aborted"?  You also mentioned the tape is
filled up.  Is it possible the clone session is still active and waiting
for a second tape?

I also got confused by this my first time using scripted cloning.  The
volumes disply GUI for the clone volume will show an "a" flag for the
savesets that are currently being cloned.  At first I thought this
meant "a" for active, but I later realized that NetWorker is setting the
flag as "a" for aborted, until it's succesfully completed!

(P.S.  This is how I first realized that the cloning operation was not de-
multiplexing the savesets).
