As there is only one NextPool setting available, you'll have to work 
around that, but it is possible AFAIK. (By the way - on bacula-devel, 
there's some discussion regarding introduction of overrides for the 
NextPool setting. You might be interested to join that.)

You can set up a "fake" pool with the second NextPool target, and then 
use SQLquery as a job selection scheme. The NextPool is taken from the 
pool setting, and the actual jobs to move are selected by the SQL, 
choosing volumes from a different pool. Should work, though I haven't 
tested it yet.
