Don't do it backwards... Rather than try to exclude file systems, in general,
only have the ones you want included on a Domain definition.
Right now you're looking at dsm.sys in pursuing the problem.
Do 'dsmc q opt' and 'dsmc q inclexcl' to gauge the true environment,
which also involves the server-resident client options.
Find out where the undesired file systems are being included rather than
trying to blindly nullify their effect.  It will keep your overall configuration
simpler.
