It's a bit finicky about what order you do things here. You can't change
the browse time when it's recyclable, because the index for the save set
no longer exists. I think what you need to do is:

Change the retention period, i.e. nsrmm -e "next week" -S ssid/cloneid

Change the mode, i.e. nsrmm -o notrecyc -S ssid/cloneid

Then you can potentially run a save set recovery, or run nsrck -L7.

You may be able to just run nsrck -L7 anyway, I don't know.
