I had a look at the savepnpc, and the problem is that the clearcase vobs
are stored on a netapp file server. The backups are done via ndmp.
Therefore as my understanding of the savepnpc command, the legato server
contacts the client to run the pre and post commands. However as the
client in this case is not an active legato client, it cannot complete
the commands. So rather than doing this, I script the closing and
opening of the clearcase vob from the legato server before asking the
ndmp client to backup the saveset.

What I am getting at, is there a way of confirming the script or command
used to carry out the actual backup of a saveset, as I can use this as a
flag to indicate it the saveset was of a clearcase VOB or not ?
