I have a Ingres installation and I don't want to backup files where the
DBs are stored, when normal backup runs.

So I decided to modify the dsm.sys & the Include/Exclude file list, in
order to keep separate procedures and apply separate Management Class at
the backups.

dsm.sys

   Users              root ingres

**********************************************

   VirtualMountPoint  /var/opt/ingres/data
   VirtualMountPoint  /var/opt/ingres/data/db1
   VirtualMountPoint  /var/opt/ingres/data/db2
   VirtualMountPoint  /var/opt/ingres/data/db3


Include/Exclude
===============
include /var/opt/ingres/data/db1/.../*                  MC_INGRESTREE
include /var/opt/ingres/data/db2/.../*                  MC_INGRESTREE
include /var/opt/ingres/data/db3/.../*                  MC_INGRESTREE
include /var/opt/ingres/data/db1/ingres/ckp/.../*       MC_INGRESCKP


Now:

1) invoking dsmc from 'root' for normal backup, it works perfectly

2) invoking dsmc from 'ingres' for DB-Ingres backup, I receive the
   following messages:

ANS1837S File space /var/opt/ingres/data is ignored. Processing
continues.
ANS1837S File space /var/opt/ingres/data/db1 is ignored. Processing
continues.
ANS1837S File space /var/opt/ingres/data/db2 is ignored. Processing
continues.
ANS1837S File space /var/opt/ingres/data/db3 is ignored. Processing
continues.

   and, although the procedure works perfectly, the files backed-up,
   which are in the subtree '/var/opt/ingres/data/db1/ingres/ckp/'
   are not to be found in the file-space '/var/opt/ingres/data/db1'
   but in '/var/opt/ingres/data'.

I know is a bit complicate, sorry.

Am I doing terrible mistakes?
