Autoclean (with "supported hardware" as described in the documentation) 
has supposedly been a part of NetBackup since at least version 3.2. But 
many people have described problems with it not doing its thing. 
 (Autoclean, aka TapeAlert, is not a NBU feature that you enable or 
tune, it's just there)

I have not heard of any patch for this, but it's certainly possible.

Where to get patches?  support.veritas.com
How to check your current patch level?  'ls /usr/openv/netbackup/patch' 
should show you what patches you have installed on your master server.
