Hmm, still not clear. Let me reword my Q.
Scripts that are enabled are not tied to a particular volume, rite ?
Assuming that, if a script is enabled, then it would run/invoke for all 
volumes. How do i control the running of a script at the volume level ?
Say i need to run a script for all volume except one.. how do i control 
that ?
