We had the same problem with excluding the files under the *.QDR
directories.  Apparently ADSM does not recognize wildcard characters
in the directory name even though it allows them.  We ended up
specifying each *.QDR directory separately and everything worked OK.
We still specify * for the filenames under each directory.

It's a pain to do this, especially when you have a server with 20+
print queues on it.  Could this be made a requirement/suggestion for
a future enhancement?
