only one read stream
so 

for i in 1..3
do
        copy ssid to tape<i>
done
: will give you 3 copies (if that is what you mean

and

do paralell:
        copy ssid1 to tape1
        copy ssid2 to tape2
        copy ssid3 to tape3
done

will not work (only one read stream is possible from the disk)

delete first any unfinished clone, the clflags will give you an indication 
here. for some readon the copies count is updated while cloneing and not 
after successfull cloning so the copies = 2 will not work if the faulty clone 
is not deleted first.

here you will neet ssid + cloneid to actually stage from the disk and not from 
the colend tape

-r'ssid,cloneid' (use also -xc/ )

and always use: !ssrecycle,!incomplete in any query

you can get the / between ssid and cloneid withe the -xc/ option of mminfo
