Good Point.

I would use the "update volume" command. Two Steps. First, a
11: Pool

for every single volume to be moved to the new pool (scripted),
and after that a single (well, this one manually)

13: All Volumes from Pool

to match the volume parameters like retention time to the new pool 
definition.
