halomerchant -

Unfortunately, the phenomenon you are encountering is inherent to the nsrclone 
executable.  It is possible to work around that by getting creative with your 
scripting, e.g. create multiple lists of tapes or SSIDs and spawn a clone 
process for each, but you need to be careful about how you set your lists up so 
that savesets that span multiple tapes are accounted for.

It would be REALLY NICE if someone from EMC would address this in a release of 
Networker.   I haven't had a chance to crawl through the 7.5 release notes, but 
I seem to recall reading about "improvements" to cloning, maybe it's there, you 
might take a look.  Otherwise, you're likely going to be playing with your fav 
scripting engine for a bit...
