I have an IBM TS3310 and I let the library do the cleaning.
When a tape drive ask for a cleaning the library will clean it.
My library is set up to send me emails if it has issues like the cleaning tape is used up or in your case got stuck.
I don't like letting NB do the cleaning as NB can as for a cleaning for a bunch of different reasons - not just because the tape drive as for it. And this causes the drive to get cleaned too much some times. Which then wares our the drive heads.
My thought on the cleaning tape getting stuck, have you tried changing out the cleaning tape for a new one. As this one might have a broken leader or is not seating correctly inside the cartridge.
