Thanks,

This does stop the cloning with a failure message which is what I want.  I
could just kill the nsrclone process also and it cleans up.
Unfortutunately, this has to done when nsrclone is hung; ie..one must
realize it is hung.   I was looking for something that prevented the
hanging..  in Networker 6.1.2 nsrclone would fail when it hit a write error
on the clone tape; the reading and writing drive would be freed up.

Of course, this weekend this happened again.   No tape mount requests were
emailed, nsrclone simple hung reading the source tape..it never timed out.
