Ah, so you want something like:

write group Developers * //Project/... write user * * -//.../Console/...
write user * * -//.../EngineStaging/... write group ConsoleDevelopers *
//.../Console/...  
I'd recommend against doing this, personally, and organize your depot such
that those "Console" and "EngineStaging" directories are
somewhere more specific rather than scattered at arbitrary locations through the
directory structure.  The above setup will let ConsoleDevelopers
create a "Console" directory at any part of the depot hierarchy (even
though they may not be able to see the containing folder, which may lead to some
weird conflicts), and as you add platforms you may see performance problems with
the mappings.

The initial idea of just having //Project/Console1, //Project/Console2, etc will
lend itself to much easier depot management.  Remember that if you
need to pull files into specific juxtapositions for a build this is easy to do
with workspace views; it's better to optimize your basic depot structure for
the way that most of your developers are actually working and for the way that
you need to control access.
