Hmm. I thought this would be the solution, but we have a multiple-master
environment, and I have this script working on our reporting master, and it
sends the requests to each datacenter's master.  With bpsched, I can't do that,
since each datacenter handles its own scheduling.  i.e. with bpbackup, I can use
the "-M" to tell it to run the backup on machine X.  Not, at least, unless
bpsched has another hidden option like so many of the Netbackup commands.  ;)
