This (and all the 'nsrclone ... -f ssid_list_file' examples) is
EXACTLY what is described in case #1.
(no change, no de-interleaving, no tape rewind)

Case #2 is something like:
SsidList=$(mminfo ... -r ssid)
for Ssid in $SsidList
do
  nsclone ... $Ssid
done
(many tape rewinds, everything gets de-interleaved)
