Cindy,

One thing you might check is the order of your include/exclude statements.
You may already know this, but I was surprised to learn the other day that
the include/exclude statements are processed from the bottom up. So, you
might have a situation where the files you are trying to exclude are
actually being included because they match a include statement below the
exclude. The following is a quote from my ADSM implementation course notebook:

"The exclude/include process is a bottom up process in that the last
exclude/include statement is checked first. When the file matches the
statement, exclude processing ends for that file."

It is a long shot but I hope this helps.

No, nothing worked this past weekend --- I've had the analyst try everything
that was suggested last week, and still the EXCLUDE is not being honored.
The analyst is going to find out what impact an upgrade to the OS would
bring into the mix, so I can only wait and see what they want to do at this
point. Because this is a heavily utilized production machine, I don't know
that we can be deleting and moving stuff around during any time of the
business day, and even during the evening hours.

If you have any other suggestions, I'd be happy to try them as well. We're
kinda at a standstill right now.
