This was fixed in client level 5.3.0.0. In brief, the older client levels
had a built-in EXCLUDE ?:\adsm.sys\...\*. Starting in 5.3, this was
changed to an EXCLUDE.DIR for the adsm.sys directory in order to prevent
it from traversing the directory at all.

Search on IC40016 at http://www.ibm.com to find more specific detail on
the problem.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
