Is that part of why my archive copy job creates so much noise in my
Director messages?  :)

OK, that WORKS when selection is evaluated at queue time.  Does it work
BETTER than evaluating at start time?


I may consider that approach and see if it works around the problem I'm
encountering, but I suspect it means vast amounts of message noise
unless I tell the Director not to send notifications on copy jobs, and
then I presume I will miss copy failure notices.
