After talking to Jean-Philippe: No, you can't.

Jean-Philippe did note that one piece of DPM work in progress would
possibly allow you to map a DPNS directory to a set of attributes,
including a spacetoken. This would allow the more natural "everything
in scratchdisk is in ATLASSCRATCHDISK" mapping which Steve is
hopefully thinking we could do (but we can't).
