Cloning NDMP savesets from VTL to Tape

I recently purchased a bunch of SATA disk from EMC for the purpose of VTL. The backups to the VTL work flawlessly (NDMP). Now I want to clone the savesets off to physical tape. How do I do this? The NS502 connected directly (via fibre channel) to the jukebox is also configured to backup via NDMP. This is how I previously backup to the jukebox over these 2 drives (ait-4). Any suggestions?

The Networker team is having me try to do a manual clone with the command nsrndmp_clone -vvv -S xxxxxx

I get the error nsrndmp_clone: error, Check clone storage nodes for the client xxx.

I labled a tape and put it in the default clone pool. I'm trying to keep it simple until I can at least clone something successfully.

If you haven't found a resolution to this issue yet, I believe your answer lies in the Client resource of the NDMP device. Under the globals 2 tab, make sure whatever system (node) you are performing the cloning on (this should be whatever system controls the jukebox arm) is listed as a clone storage node.

If your NDMP savesets go to NDMP filer that this client would be storage node - thus you need to define clone storage node for it. You will also need "backup clone" type pool for that and some tapes inside for clone to be successful.
