It would probably be simpler to just create a second pool. Then define 
Storage= in the Pool resource to ensure all jobs storing to pool 1 use 
drive 1 and all jobs storing to pool 2 use drive 2. Then you can 
distribute jobs amongst the two drives just by assigning some to pool 1 
and some to pool 2 in the Job resource for each client.
