We reverted to the V2.1.0.5 client for SunOS and the backup is working
correctly (without an inclexcl file).  I'd say V2.1.0.6 is broken.

One possibility is that this is due to our running a rather old level of
the server (V1.1.0.8 -- the last one that doesn't leave hundreds of dead
Mac sessions around -- IBM's idea of a fix was that we should reinstall
ADSM on 800 Macs).

Has anybody run V2.1.0.6 successfully on SunOS 4.1.4?
