i started a fortress where each immigrant wave gets its own mini fortress, while the original 7 have a grand one.  ive been using burrows to do this.  however all the stockpiles in the mini fortress never get filled with stuff from the main fort.  it seems like a job gets generated for the stockpile, it gets assigned to a dwarf, who usually is in the mini burrow, then that dwarf cant path to the item in question since its outside the burrow.  i was hoping that the orig 7, who have no burrow designations would bring stuff to the burrow.  but alas it hardly ever happens (once in a while the job assigner finds the proper dwarf for the job).

has anyone else had to deal with a situation like this?  any thoughts about possible solutions / workarounds to the problem?

You can't use "take from pile"?

Dedicated hauler dwarves, who don't have any other job and no burrow assignments.

Turn off Hauling on the migrants?  That would prevent them from being assigned the jobs.

yes! this will work.  once i get them airlocked i can reenable it.

my original 7 had no burrow assignments but they were never assigned the job because it was always assigned to a closer dwarf (namely a dwarf that shared the burrow with the stockpile.

take from pile suffered the same bugs as the other way.
