Hello,

I failed to mention...the workaround for this
until the FIXTEST is available is to rename the
FILESPACE on the ADSM server to a format that
doesn't contain periods ("."), commas (","),
or at-signs ("@") in the Org, Site, or Server
part of the FILESPACE name. Replace the above
characters with an underscore ("_").
Use the "Show All" button the the GUI to see
the backups.

So, for your machine, use the following command:
(one command split to two below because of space)

  RENAME FILESPACE  WA.GOV.LNIXD.LNIXD-DILBERT.DIR
           WA_GOV.LNIXD.LNIXD-DILBERT.DIR

Of course, the next backup will create the FILESPACE
with the periods again, at which time, you will have to
do another RENAME FILESPACE command.
Again, we have a fix, it will be available shortly.

Let me know if this doesn't resolve the problem.
