I'd not bother doing initial bayes training on the secondary. 
Instead, once you've got a decent bayes system working on your 
primary, copy the bayes_* database files over to the secondary and 
enable bayes.  (Make sure bayes_auto_learn is still off, though).  If 
you periodically copy your primary bayes databases to your secondary 
MX, the system should work farily well.
