On the note of missing filesystems/mount points. Is there a way to setup
TSM to pick everything and exclusively exclude when required? This would
somewhat eliminate the issue (but might cause more disk/tape
consumption) somewhat so that the backups will occur if someone creates
a new fs but forgets to add it to the TSM backup schedule.

The absence of such a utility is, I think, largely due to static file
system complements and the relatively trivial nature of the check, in
comparing 'dsmc Query Filespace' output to 'lsfs -v jfs' output in AIX,
for example. Good client monitoring does Query Filespace checks anyway,
so comparing against the file systems complement is a minor extension.
