Of course!  ;-)
I have an explanation for that msg in ADSM QuickFacts.
The product wants very explicit specification of objects:
train yourself to think, if the object is a directory, I
should always put a slash at the end to leave TSM no doubt.
And seek to avoid having a plain file in existence where
you expect a named directory.
That will probably cover your situation.  If not, write back.
