The reference to "the client options file" may be an anachronistic
euphemism. Get out of the habit of looking in the options file and
use 'dsmc q inclexcl' and 'dsmc q opt' instead, to see what TSM
really thinks is happening. Remember that Include-Exclude options can
come from a variety of places: the actual client options file, any OS-
incited excludes (as in Windows), and server-stored client options.
Doing the query may turn up surprises - or at least eliminate things
to examine.
