Export/Import a single/multiple tasks to another Ghost Console

My group manages multiple (about 11 real and a couple of virtual) ghost consoles located in different geographic locations. We are currently use GSS 1.1 but we can/will be migrating to GSS 2.0.1. In these different locations we pretty much do the same tasks with different sets of computers. Some of these tasks can be complicated to set up and there are many of them.
 
Is there a way to export tasks (as well as views, filters and dynamic machine groups) from one ghost console to another so we don't have to recreate them manually? I really don't want an export of the entire DB because we have different computers and we already defined tasks, machine groups, views... that are different.
 
Thanks

I'd back this up as I now am

I'd back this up as I now am in the same position, I'd just like to move one complex task to another ghost server..... all I really need is the location and I could manually copy the task, or an export tool or something! - It would save some work as this is a complex Task deffinition... it's going to suck having to re-create it!

Portability

The problem with this is that tasks are largely relationships between objects in the database. A new console would not have image X, client Y, configuration package Z, etc. I do believe that there should be some portability, but I do not know what that would look like. A well-worded enhancement request would be excellent; post it to the forums here. A lot of our developers are active here, and would appreciate the input.
