The Exclude.FS and Exclude.Dir specs tell TSM not to enter the file system or directory at all, thus eliminating scanning. Whereas those specs are wholly exclusionary (and are honored regardless of their position in the Include-Exclude list), you can't do like "Exclude.Dir /" and also have "Include /root/.../*", where /root is a directory within the "/" file system. What you can do is utilize wildcard patterns with Exclude.Dir to exclude all directories under "/" except for the /root dir you want to back up.

And, note that specifying   Include           "/boot/…/*"
in your Inclexcl file is unnecessary as redundant to your DOMain specifications. Note also that what you list in your DOMain specs must be actual file systems or VIRTUALMountpoint's.
