OK - it doesn't work this way.
 
I changed my archived redo log class, the user-based, high-priority one, to
be priority 10.
 
I changed my interruptable full backup class to be priority 1.
 
I initiated a manual full backup of a dozen systems and waited for the user
backups to come in and interrupt.  When they did, they appeared as queued
jobs, on top of the other class' jobs.  Netbackup is busily running each job
in the full backup class, and as each active client backup terminates, it
grabs another from the same class rather than the higher-priority job that
was queued later.
 
If any prioritization is taking place here, it's class to class, not job to
job.
 
Back to my original question, then.  Can I push these user backups to the
head of the line?

 I thought that was only for resolving priority when the jobs start at the
same scheduled time - however, with your note I dove again into the SAG and
it doesn't seem that way.

I'll bump the priority up and see what happens.

You must have a class defined for these user backups. What about setting 
the class priority up to 99 or something higher than the other classes?

 I use User Backups & User Archives (bpbackup & bparchive) to manage hot DB 
backups & archived redo logs.  When the DB sends a set of files, I want NB 
to jump right on it - regardless of queued jobs ahead of it. 

Is there any way of reprioritizing jobs that are queued?  (I'm willing to 
let active jobs complete first)
