Hi Sue: See remarks inline below, but the general answer is that the SRB extension was not designed to partition storage along collection lines, so I don't think it would help you out without a fair bit of additional work. Also, SRB has been replaced with a new platform called iRods (http://www.irods.org) which should support the SRB DSpace extensions, but I'm not aware of any sites to point you to who have implemented it.
