VCB and Backup Exec 10.1d configuration

I am running ESX 3.0.2 and VC 2.0.2 I have successfully installed VCB 1.1 with BE integration module. My environment has 8 ESX hosts running about 100 VMs. I am using BE policies to manage backups of my VMs. I am doing -FullVM image backups. Within my policies I am only able to list 3 VMs in one policy because it seems that BE is truncating my listing after I list out VMs using their FQDNs. Is there a maximum number of characters that the pre-backup.bat will allow? If so, how can I add more than 3 Vms to one policy? Should I be doing this a different way?

run backup exec with each machine (Or 2-3 Machines) as a job. Inside that job you can use pre , post commands. This way backup exec can still show good and bad backups.
