answering my own post..tsk tsk..oh well :)

Thanks to Peter Murphy and Roman Böhm who both pointed me towards the savegrp 
command.

found that by using the savegrp -pvvv <group name> I got some of the 
information, but what REALLY did
the work was using -nvvv , wich not only showed what files would be backed up , 
but also
gave me the estimate size of each saveset :)

brilliant!
