exclude.dir

Good day all,
I used an exclude.dir command in an effort to exclude a directory from
my backups. While I was successful in exluding the directory from my
backup, the command also affected archive processing.
The following command was run inside a larger script -
dsmc archive -archmc=$ADSMMC -subdir=yes -desc="$ADSMDESC" -verbose
"$BKPDIR/*"
This command resulted in the following message -
ANS1115W File '/bkp/vol18/*' excluded by Include/Exclude list
I looked through some TSM manuals and I see different references to what
exclude.dir will actually exclude. It some places the terminology "all
processing" is used and in others only "backup processing" is
referenced.
The reason I tried to use exclude.dir was because previous attempts to
exclude this data from backup processing using the below, had failed.
exclude /bkp/*
exclude /bkp/.../*
exclude /bkp/.../.../*
Anyone have experience with using exclude.dir? The exact command I had
placed in my include-exclude statement was
exclude.dir /bkp
Once I removed the "exclude.dir /bkp" command, the archive jobs were
re-run successfully. The TSM server in question is running AIX 5.3 ML
and TSM 5.2.7.
Thanks
Scott
