You've hit on a major limitation of the Koha 2.2 series. The good
news is it's already fixed in the CVS version for the 3.0 series.
That is, you can specify circ rules on a per-item basis as well
as a per-biblioitem basis.

If you need to run 2.2, you should be able to merge in the changes
from CVS into your local copy pretty simply ... probably much more
simply than rolling your own. If you do manage to do this, I'd
be very interested in a patch for this ...

Cheers,
