It looks like you put the -subdir=yes option in the "objects" setting when
you defined the schedule.

When defining the schedule, specify

   options=-subdir=yes
   objects="/fs1/ /fs2/ /fs3/ ..."

Basically you code these as you would from the command line, e.g.:

   dsmc selective /fs1/ /fs2/ /fs3/ ... -subdir=yes

("..." connotes any additional file systems, and is not part of the
command)

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