You might try "exclude.fs /tmp/SECUPD" or "domain ALL-LOCAL -/tmp/SECUPD",
but even with either/both of those, you may still get a hung client.

If so, moving into the realm of kludges, maybe you could also mount some
other filesystem (real, loop-mount an ISO or something, or bind-mount some
other directory) at that same mount point.  That might get the TSM client
past the hang.  (Or it could cause more problems.  Best option would still be
to try to resolve the ghost/stale mount itself.)
