After much trial and error (lots of error) I found a way to fudge it by 
doing "//policy-options", but strangely enough it doesn't work for just 
"//", or "//groups/something/policy-options". Not sure if that is fully 
supported, but I figure it's worth noting for the mailing list archives 
incase someone else is trying the same thing I am. :)
