Code file system names without a trailing slash.

And how can I backup the / file system ???  ;)

For a file system, it should not mather if you and it with a / or
not.  For a
directory, you HAVE to end it with a /.

This what I found out after some test:

directory
   dsmc incr /<dir>/
      must and with a /

file system
   dsmc incr /<dir>/
      can end with a /, but the timestamp will not updated (as seen
in dsmc q
file)
      For the / root file systeem, a "dsmc q incr /" will update the
timestamp.

A forward slash at the end of a spec, in Unix, designates a
directory.  As proven by example, giving that to a 'dsmc Incremental'
results in only the directory contents being backed up.

The filespace timestamp was not updated in your test, above, because
you did not back up the whole file system.  Simple as that.

Where you are operating on a file system, DO NOT PUT A SLASH AT THE
END OF IT.
