It's a little messy, perhaps the same result could be achieved, using the *same* single schedule which runs a script on each host - this .bat or .pl file might have the dsmc archive invocation specific to that host, containing the appropriate drive letter (hey, if you're good with perl, you could even script that and make it generic/identical across hosts too).
It's not pretty, but it'll work...
