Have your restarted the scheduler?  The scheduler only reads the dsm.sys
file on startup.

Curiousity: have you tried adding it to the relevant client option set
on
the server? I for one would be interested as to whether that did the job
better.

Another curiousity: does log retention work on archives only? I always
see
the trimming going on at the end of a scheduled backup. You might try a
single scheduled backup on one box to see if that trims the logs.
