Some suggestions:

- Check the client node definition on the TSM server to see if it is
associated with a client option set that has a DOMAIN statement in it that
might be adding the network shares.

- Check the schedule definition to see whether the OBJECTS or OPTIONS
settings specify any additional file systems. Make sure you check the
system you think you are backing up to (I notice your dsm.opt file
contains two TCPSERVERADDRESS settings, albeit with one commented out).

- Make sure the client is using the options file you *think* it is using.
Use the dsmcutil command to display the scheduler service configuration,
and see if it points to a different options file. Check whether
environment variable DSM_CONFIG exists, and if it points to a different
options file.

- Run the command line interface as follows:

   dsmc q opt domain

and see what the output shows.

- Check the dsmsched.log file and check the options shown at the beginning
of the scheduled event. Also check for lines that read:

   Incremental backup of volume 'blah'

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
