Neil,

I'm testing this out now.  Do you remember if the unc path used the
cluster name, rather than the physical server holding the resource at
the time?

Thanks,

-steve

We went round this loop a couple of years ago. 

The default value for CLUSTERDISKSONLY is Yes. According to the
documentation, this "specifies that the Tivoli Storage Manager only
allows the processing of cluster drives that have a drive letter. This
is the default." 

So (and this seemed paradoxical) you also have to specify
CLUSTERDISKSONLY=NO in the 'special' .opt file for backing up the shared
disks. 

For some reason we also had to specify UNC paths to all the disks
(including the mountpoints) in the DOMAIN statement, but I forget the
reason why. However we did succeed in making it work (although not with
DFS in the equation).
