I have something similar with a NetWare cluster here.  Any given server has an 
instance of the TSM client loaded for the local SYS volume and server specific 
information.  Then, each clustered resource (which has its own volume) loaded 
on that server has another instance of the TSM client.  The dsm.opt file for 
the server contains the line:

DOMAIN          SYS: SERVERSPECIFICINFO

This causes that instance of the TSM client to only backup sys and 
serverspecificinfo, but skips the other volumes that are present on the server

The dsm.opt file on the other volumes have the line:

DOMAIN          VOLNAME:

and only backup the volume that is explicitly stated in the domain line.  There 
shouldn't be a need to negate volumes using DOMAIN.  Just explicitly define the 
volume you want to backup.
