Hi All,

     Anyone find that the exclude list is not being processed correctly on
TSM 3.7.1 under Solaris 2.6?  If I run dsm, it seems to "obey" the exclude
list, not letting me backup the filesystem "/root.b".  However, the "dsmc
sch" and "dsmc i" processes are backing it up, seemingly ignoreing the
exclude file.

/etc/adsm.exclude contains:

exclude.fs /root.b

...and at the beginning of the scheduled backup:

Executing scheduled command now.
03/29/00   06:52:18
Executing Operating System command or script:
   /usr/ucb/touch /tmp/adsm.PREscheduledcmd
03/29/00   06:52:18 Finished command.  Return code is:
   0
03/29/00   06:52:18 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT BEGIN 1TIME 03/29/00   06:45:00

03/29/00   06:52:19 Incremental backup of volume '/u'
03/29/00   06:52:19 Incremental backup of volume '/root.b'
....

and it does backup /root.b.

...and dsmc i does too:

(6:59am)[rexx]{/source/adsm/solaris/v3r7}> sudo dsmc i /root.b -se=aix

....

dsm, however, does not show it to me for backup under the machine's
"local" expansion, and it correctly displays the exclude file info under
"Edit-Preferences".

Just in case, here is my entire exclude file, which worked just fine with
3.1.06:

* Default exclusion file for SunOS
*
exclude /unix
exclude /.../core
*exclude /.../tmp/.../*
exclude /var/adm/log/adsm.schedlog
exclude.dir /u/tkssteve/.netscape/cache
exclude.dir /termutil
exclude.dir /util
exclude.dir /source
exclude.dir /acsu
exclude.dir /entire
exclude.dir /home/staff
exclude.dir /termtemp
exclude.dir /mailRestore
exclude.fs /root.b
exclude.fs /u.b
exclude.fs /util
exclude.fs /termutil
exclude.fs /source
exclude.fs /acsu
exclude.fs /entire
exclude.fs /home/staff
exclude.fs /termtemp
exclude.fs /mailRestore
*include /u/tkssteve/mail/mailer-daemon DRCT2TAPE

Any ideas?
