The options defined in server client optins have precidence
>From page 353 in the server guide V5.4

 Any include-exclude statements in the server client option set have
priority over the include-exclude statements in the local client options
file. The server include-exclude statements are always enforced and
placed at the bottom of the include-exclude list and evaluated before
the client include-exclude statements.

Yes, but it's not position in the dsm.opt file that matters when client
option sets are at issue. Use "dsmc query inclexcl" to see the final
list that TSM actually uses.

I suspect it is that client option set that is overriding the dsm.opt
file.
