You do not say what unix system you are running, but my guess would be
Solaris. If you look, /etc/hosts is a symlink to /etc/inet/hosts. You
told it -subdir=yes, and by default, archive follows symlinks, unlike
backup, which does not. If the user only wants to backup the host file,
then try:
dsmc arc /etc/inet/hosts -desc="test"
On one of my Solaris systems:
(7:22am)[flotsam]{/usr/local/bin}> ls -al /etc/hosts
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 12 Dec 19 1997 /etc/hosts -> ./inet/hosts
(7:22am)[flotsam]{/usr/local/bin}> ls -al /etc/inet/hosts
-r--r--r-- 1 root 5162 Dec 27 13:30 /etc/inet/hosts
