In TSM V5.3 (will be GA next month ?) there is a:

 "Preview" command displays files that would be included, exclude, or both

>>---Preview--Backup|Archive--filespec--filter--{All/incl/excl}---filename--console--{yes/no,
traverse}---<<

Hoa.

Rick - Your clientopts do specify  Override: No
        which may be a contributing factor.  Always do 'dsmc q inclexcl'
as
Wanda suggests, on a participating client to "compile" the
Include-Excludes
to assure that you are getting the combinatorial result you expect,
before
backups run.
