Andrew, I looked at this about a year ago. You might find the thread in the archives of this list. At the time, the Cray plugin for the burst buffer was supported. However staging in/out for other devices was not being developed.
You can achieve the same staging behaviour by using job dependencies. Submit a stage-in job. then submit a second job which depends on this job to do the computation.
