Thanks for all the responses.  In my case, the problem is definitely restricted 
to systemobjects.  (Although I'm going to add the DIRMC statments to prevent 
problems in the future.)  If I put an "include.systemobject mgtclass" into the 
optionset or into dsm.opt, is that going to override a "domain -systemobject" 
statement?  Will it be honored by a scheduled "dsmc backup systemobject" 
command?  My concern is that I had tons of performance problems when I was 
trying to backup the systemobjects as part of my nightly incremental backup 
runs, and I don't want to reintroduce that problem to fix another one.  I'd 
like to keep the files and the systemobjects in separate processes if I can.
