Actually if you use !incomplete ,  !ssrecycle and some time frame you should be 
fine. After 24 hours or the next time nsrck is run
an incomplete dataset will be set to recycled status and won't be flagged as 
incomplete any more.

I use the following for my selection
-q"!incomplete,pool='Default',pool='GIS 
Default',location=STKL40,copies=1,sscreate>5 days ago"

The `copies' field counts copies, whether they are incomplete or not, in error, 
expired, etc., so there is no point in using the
condition `copies<2' as you'll miss SSIDs you should clone. Also, the `pssid=0' 
contraint does not work on anything less than a more
recent version Notworker.

It's better to run -r'ssid,cloneid,pssid,ssflags,clflags' -q`some time 
contraint, etc.' and then "manually" exclude non-zero pssid
records, exclude error / incomplete savesets (check all flags),.... then count 
the number of unique cloneids (you can get duplicate
records in a listing for various reasons) you have for an ssid. If it's only 
one you should clone it.

We discovered this problem in our clone scripts and thus a large number of 
missed clones, due to our habit of killing clones when we
need a tape or drive, assuming the clone would be re-done if incomplete....
