Am I doing something wrong? In our lab DSSU, when I go to modify the 
"Disk Staging Schedule...">
Destination> "Multiple copies" selection is greyed out.  So I would have 
thought that you have
to home grow a solution to get this to work.

Should I be able to create Multiple copies out of the DSSU (within the 
DSSU framework)?
