This is what I've done. I use 2 different jobs with 2 different schedules to 2 
different pools in the same storage device, since it's the same client.
On the 1st of every month I do a full.
On the 2-31 days I do an incremental, but the backup on the 2nd is also a full 
because it's the first.
I guess I don't understand the configuration you are describing.

Mr. Joe: maybe you could achieve what that with different pools. One with 1 
month retention for for the incrementals; and another one with 6 month 
retention, for your full backups.
You can also use Volume Use Duration to make sure your volumes get recycled at 
a given time (VUD + Volume Retention).
In the schedule you can specify witch jobs go to each one of the pools (you 
don't need two different jobs).
