I thought about this some more and I figured out it could be done with two
seperate jobs each scheduled to follow after the corresponding backup.  I
also realized I don't really need separate pools for full and diff backup.
I think it would make pulling tapes out of the autochanger easier as they'd
be listed separately but I think it's also an extra complication I can do
without.
