Where are you putting this include list? 

I think that you are using syntax for your data mover, not NetBackup.

If I can reply to my own posting, 

I pulled the [A-Z] reference and it just backed up the expected filesystems.
Could it be that NB is doing a case-insensitive match?
Hmm.  Too much time in bed with Microsoft?

I'll keep looking into it.

I need a sanity check, here.  

I've got this INCLUDE list on a policy for a series of NFS mounts:

INCLUDE NEW_STREAM
INCLUDE /etc/passwd
INCLUDE /gollum/vol/[qr]*
INCLUDE /gollum/vol/[0-9]*
INCLUDE /gollum/vol/[A-Z]*

and the activity view shows the current path being backed up is

/gollum/vol/documentum/at02_doc_data/blah...blah../file.txt

Last I checked, this pattern doesn't match this path being backed up.
Any reason that you folks see that I'm not?

Some explanation: I just reworked my filer backups (all done via NFS mount
right now) and use wildcards to match most of the volume names and divide
things into sets.  I'm using the wildcards so if some other admin adds a new
volume later, I pick up the new volume automatically and perform backups on
it.  That's what the [0-9] and [A-Z] entries are for, they're my "just in
case" lines.  The "/etc/passwd" thing at the beginning is to make the stream
"Status 71" resistant.  I somebody renames a volume later and leaves me with
nothing, I'll get a small but still valid backup image.  "/etc/passwd" is
always there.
