It would be great if there were per object AO controls. It would be real handy to be able to disable AO for things like sun glasses on a character, glass cover on a clock, etc.

There is though, just not the way you’re doing it.
You can either save a copy of your scene and make a few different kinds of AO material and apply them as mats to objects or do it within the materials in the first place and not even have to render a seperate pass.
