archive question

Hi ADSMers:

On our public AIX machine, all user home directories are set up as pointers to
directories in other user volume groups (eg. /us1).  This is transparent to
the users.
A problem arises when users archive their files using the fully qualified
path names: /home/spd/lau/imsl-xmp.f and then query them using the wildcard:
'dsmc q ar "*"'.  It returns an error.
Is there an option to force query to default to the current directory,
/home/spd/lau, instead of following through the link to look at /us1/spd/lau?
I have played with the options followsymbolic and archsymlinkasfile but they
didn't seem to make a difference.



lau @ vtaix: /home/spd/lau => pwd
/home/spd/lau

lau @ vtaix: /home/spd => ls -l lau
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     spd           12 May 30 1998  lau -> /us1/spd/lau



lau @ vtaix: /home/spd/lau => dsmc q archive "*"
