There may be something I'm missing, but I'm a little unclear on exactly what
these jobs would be doing.  More specifically, would these consolidation
operations entail duplication of volume data (ie, consolidate jobs X, Y and Z
from volumes A, B and C into a new job Q on volume W), or would it just be
manipulation of catalog data?
