That sounds interesting and very similar to what we hope to achieve 
using OpenNebula and a central storage server (as I've posted a few 
hours ago, not realising this thread here is very similar in nature).

Would you care to go into a little detail regarding your custom TM 
driver? Maybe even post the sources? I'd be very interested in learning 
more about your approach to this.
