Alright, step one, is the inclexcl parameter specified in your dsm.sys
file (as opposed to your dsm.opt file where it shouldn't be)

Now wildcards are talked about in the "Installing Clients" Manual (of V2)
on pages 153-155.  Your first exclude looks fine to me.  The second one
should, if the docs are to be believed, exclude any file in the root dir
starting with db.   (Remember that the * character does NOT cross directory
boundaries.  Hope that helps.
