        Here's my guesses:

1. Your DOMAIN statement in the dsm.opt lists "/" & "/usr" in it, but on
your system, there is no separate /usr filesystem. If this is the case,
remove /usr from the domain statement.

2. You have an entry in your dsm.sys that says "VIRTUALMOUNTPOINT
/usr", but there is no separate /usr filesystem on the host. Remove the
entry.

3. You have an entry in your dsm.sys that says "FOLLOWSYMBOLIC yes" so that
all the links in the filesystem are followed, and one of the directories in
the path is a link. (This was kind of a weak guess, but what the heck).

OH... another possibility:

4. It looks like the time stamps are somewhat overlapping....

        I bet that you have the host associated to 2 different schedules
that are running at the same time? In this way they are both running in
parallel. I'm putting my money on this guess..... Am I right?
