So, any ideas?

It seems to me, you might want to consider revising your off-site
policy so that you do cloning and then send the copied tapes off
site. You could clone several tapes to fewer cloned tapes. The
benefits of this is that you would be sending tapes off-site that
have more data on them and  you would have the original tapes
on-site for use in the event that a quick restore is needed.

Or, you could use the nsrstage command to migrate the data off the
1%-used tape onto one of the others that is already going offsite.

(Which is the approach we use)

nsrstage -b Offsite `mminfo -q volume=$UNDERUTILIZED -r ssid | grep -v ssid`
