Just a correction here.

If you specify a `Storage = ` in a Pool, it cannot be overridden anywhere - not in a JobDefs, not in a Job, not in a 
Schedule, not on the command line, and not even when modifying it just before the final submission of a job.

This, in my opinion is a bug as I belief that when an admin overrides something, they should be believed that they know what 
they are doing and that should be the final word. :)

The Storage for Copy/Migration control jobs needs to be in the source Pool, or in the Copy/Migration control job itself. I 
don't have time to test, but it may be possible to override the Pool and Storage for these in a Schedule or on the command 
line, but that would make no sense to do. :)

Hope this helps,
Bill
