exclude.dir trumps the include.file. If you exclude a directory TSM won't
glance at any files under that directory even if you explicitly tell it to
do so.

You will have to either exclude all the directories but that one
exclude.dir /u[0-2,4-9][0-9]
exclude.dir /u[3][0-7,9]

Or you might look at a domain statement to limit your backups.

Have fun!
