I know this is an unusual question, but is there a way to modify the parameters of a job on-the-fly from the console?
Yes. After issuing the "run" command and choosing a job, the console gives you the option to modify the parameters.
... i'd like to, from the console, be able to change the Client for this job,
That's one of the options.
and the list of files for the given fileset, so that a full backup would be done on whatever path(s) the specified.
You can change the fileset but I dont think you can change the definition of the fileset. However, instead of specifying paths in the fileset, you can specify a program (script) that is executed when the job starts. You can modify the script to produce a list of the files that you want.
Here is the relevant paragraph from the manual. It is in the "FileSet Resource" section of the "Director Configuration".
"Any name beginning with a vertical bar (|) is assumed to be the name of a program. This program will be executed on the Director's machine at the time the Job starts (not when the Director reads the configuration file), and any output from that program will be assumed to be a list of files or directories, one per line, to be included." -- Kelvin J.
