For the UNIX ADSM clients, you don't put include/exclude statements in dsm.opt.
Rather, you create a separate text file that contains these statements. Then
you need to add the 'inclexcl' option to dsm.sys. For example, suppose I create
/usr/lpp/adsm/bin/inclexcl.list:

          exclude /.../core
          exclude /usr/.../junk
          exclude /tmp/.../*
          include /tmp/goodstuff/.../*

I would then put a line in dsm.sys as follows:

          inclexcl /usr/lpp/adsm/bin/inclexcl.list

Hope this helps.
