Does anybody know if Networker provides a way to completely erase or
overwrite a saveset so that it cannot ever be retrieved again?  I want to
keep the rest of the savesets which are on the tape intact.

Any ideas?

Basically, no, it's not possible. You can remove references to the save
set by removing it from the media database (nsrmm -d -S ssid) but this
won't prevent anyone from scanning it back in.

The only thing you could do would be to clone every other save set on
the tape, then overwrite or destroy the original.
