Hi,
To answer my own question , I  could specify more than pathname in the
"selective" command.
But what I am doing here is a cold database backup and I have more than one
db to deal with and I did not want to have customized scripts to deal with
each database, just because some of the sub-directories happen to be used as
mount points for file systems.

Is there a good explanation why TSM acts in this way?

Regards

Pete
