No, it doesn't.  But you can run it multiple times, and then feed all
the results into nsrclone.  Personally, I'd change the line a bit, so
that previously cloned tapes aren't found.  Maybe add a "copies=1" to
the mminfo query.

#!/bin/perl
my @pools = qw/MONFUL TUEFUL WEDFUL THUFUL FRIFUL/;
my @ssids;
foreach my $pool (@pools)
{
   push (@ssids, `mminfo -r 'ssid' -q "pool=$pool,copies=1"`);
}
chomp @ssids;
system("nsrclone", "-b", "Default Clone", "-S", @ssids);

Something like that (but hopefully with more error checking..)

Or if you have multiple pairs of tape drives, do it like you're doing
now, but just run several 'nsrclone's at the same time.

nsrclone -b "Default Clone" -S `mminfo -r 'ssid' -q 'pool=MONFUL'`
nsrclone -b "Default Clone" -S `mminfo -r 'ssid' -q 'pool=TUEFUL'`

That gets you parallelism in the cloning process...
