I'm currently in the process of setting up a dedicated storage node with a

and thought it would be a good idea to create a dedicated volume pool for the 
media in that jukebox.

In the settings for the volume pool (called "StorageNodePool"), I selected the group 
"StorageNode"
which contains only the client that is the dedicated storage node. The client 
data gets written to
the locally attached jukebox, but when it gets to the client index it wants a volume from 
the "StorageNodePool" at
the main Networker server.

Is there any way that I can direct the storage node client's index to the 
"Main" pool that I use for
the rest of my backups?

This is expected behaviour. I'm not sure that creating this pool is a
particular wise move. IMHO you should have a very good reason for
creating a new pool, and I wouldn't usually class having a storage node
as one of these reasons. Normally the best reason is to accommodate
different retention policies, or perhaps because you have some specific
offsite requirement.

However I'm not telling you how to configure your system, so let's
consider the question. You can configure a pool to receive your indices
(and bootstraps if required) although I'm not sure whether it's going to
be so easy to make that pool the same one as you are using on your
server-as-a-storage-node. What you would do is as follows: for the index
pool, configure the save sets fields with values of ^index: and
^bootstrap$. You should recognise these as standard regular expressions
that match the index and bootstrap save sets. Now - I'm not sure whether
doing this to your main pool will create further complications, I'll
leave that to you to consider.
