If no levels are checked in the pool options, any level can go to that
pool.  Unless you're splitting levels between pools, (which can tricky
because things like SYSTEM STATE: are fulls even when the backup is an
incremental,) I'd recommend leaving all the level fields blank.

Check your pools and make sure only the pool you want has the group
you're working with checked, and no levels, and test a backup.  Does
that work right?
