Unfortunatly, that's really not a viable option since the group takes over 12 
hours to run with the other clients in it... And this is the largest client in 
the group.. It would take all day if I did this...

We have 5 LTO-2 drives (set @ 6 sessions each), although only 3 of them can be 
used by the pool this group belongs to...

This is Done via the Client Properties ??
