This sounds like a really dumb bug. If you don't have volumes in
the 'Database clones' pool, you can simply delete the pool and add it with
the correct previous name. If you do have volumes in that pool, then it
looks like you're stuck, and all I can suggest is to complain to Legato
Support, since it is obviously a bug. The only workaround I can suggest is
to scan the tape on a different NetWorker server and run the restore from
there.
