David - You can use two incl/excl lists...but in your current case,
        TSM sees them as applying to the same filespace, so you
have the dilemma you encountered.  What can do is make TSM believe that the
single filespace is two different filespaces.  Recall that files are unique per
the combination of nodename, filespace name, and filename.  If you institute
an alternate nodename in your client, you can have an alternate image of your
filespace on the server (in total).  You can achieve this via an alternate
server stanza in your dsm.sys file which specifies a nodename of convenience for
your purposes.  Whether you want to commit that much redundant server space is
a decision factor.
