Aha! So then could you write the following:

import random
Field('filename','upload',
  uploadfolder=['c:/web2py/myapp/uploads','d:/extrastorage/myapp/
uploads'][random.randint(0,1)],
  uploadseparate=2,
  )

and expect the files to be uniformly distributed across 2 filesystems?
That (or its equivalent) would be awesome.
