DIRECTORIES are always bound to the management class with the longest
retention period, not necessarily the default management class.  That
probably explains what is happening.

Look at using the DIRMC parameter in the dsm.opt file.
It lets you specify which management class you want the directories to use.

Subject: Management class problems.....


The environment:
        TSM server 4.1.2.0
        TSM Client 4.1.2.0
        Server OS Win 2K
        Client OS Win NT

We have one management class  in a policy set which never expires the
files. The limits are set to NOLIMIT. This management class was to be used
only for a particular directory on a particular client. However, most of
the clients are using this management class for backing up some of their
files. The rest of the files are being backed up to the default management
class, which is how it should be.
        How can I make the clients stop using this particular management
class? How can I expire the files from this management class except for
that one particular client? There is no mention of this class in the
client options file and there are no client option sets. Here is the
client options file from one of the clients.
