well what i need to know is how sorcery wants things to be mirrored so
this can work, ie, do i keep all tarballs in one big /var/spool/sorcery
type of directory is there a way in sorcery to automatically have a
cast fall backwards on some mirrors? 

also will a summon-like script take care of getting all the
tarballs? basically i need scripts to run from cron to take care of all
this, but im really lacking the time to do it, and more importantly do
it well.
