>/usr/lpp/adsm/bin/dsm.inex looks like this:
>exclude /.../core
>exclude /.../*~
>exclude /var/dce/security/creds/*
>exclude.dir /var/dce/security/creds/
>exclude.dir /dev/

I get the impression that excluding a directory directly under "/" (root)
doesn't work, ie: "exclude.dir /somedir" does not exclude *anything*, while
"exclude /somedir/otherdir" does exclude files *and* directories under
/somedir/otherdir.

To exclude directories directly under root I use:

exclude.file /somedir/*
exclude.dir  /somedir/*

exclude.dir /dev *should* work, though.
