In my experience, I've most often had to end up examining the code in
src/dird/ua_cmds.c in order to figure this kind of thing out.

...and looking at the code now, it seems to me that what you want isn't
possible without changing the code - or doing something like the following:

bconsole << EOF
add pool=poolname
1
volumebasename
1
EOF
