Chris - That's dismaying.  I wonder... If the filespaces reflected multiple
        types of ADSM activity, I wonder if attacking the task by types
might avoid the deadlock, as in doing it with Type=Backup, then
Type=ARchive.  That is, maybe ADSM is parallelizing when the operation
defaults to Type=ANY.  Just a thought.
