Thanks - I'm coming close to a solution this way. The trouble is that it 
seems like it's not possible to define a pad with no mask opening at all 
- there seems to be a minimum opening in the copper extent even when the 
mask and clearance are set to 0. This results in a slight notch in the 
desired mask when combined with the mask pad that I put on top of it. 
It's not much of a notch and I might be able to live with it, but it's 
there.
