  Title:        rawasm directive not working as expected
  Synopsis: rawasm directive not working as expected
  Category: networker
  Subcategory: client
  Description: 

  Trying to back up a raw dataset using the rawasm directive on a cluster 3.0 
global filesystem fails.

  I'm trying to back up the following path:

        /dev/vx/rdsk/andydg/vol01

  Using the following directive:<< /dev/vx/rdsk/andydg >>
            +rawasm : *
  Which fails to back up the raw dataset and only backs up the link (i.e link 
is not followed):

  root: --- Successful Save Sets ---
  root: 
  root:   vha-880c: /dev/vx/rdsk/andydg/vol01 level=full,    8 KB 00:00:00      
9 files
  root:   vha-880c: index:vha-880c          level=full,     13 KB 00:00:01      
5 files
  root:   vha-880c: bootstrap               level=full,     26 KB 00:00:01      
7 files
  root: 

  Now if I change the directive to:<< / >>
            +rawasm : *     
  the backup works:

  root: --- Successful Save Sets ---
  root: 
  root:   vha-880c: /dev/vx/rdsk/andydg/vol01 level=full, 1048 MB 00:01:03      
9 files
  root:   vha-880c: index:vha-880c          level=full,     17 KB 00:00:00      
6 files
  root:   vha-880c: bootstrap               level=full,     28 KB 00:00:02      
7 files
  root: 

  Either directive should cause the link to be followed and the data backed up. 

  Having to use the directive:<< / >>
            +rawasm : *     

  means that all paths in the saveset are affected by the rawasm directive.

  Work Around: 

  Use the directive:<< / >>
            +rawasm : *     

  but this means that all paths in the saveset are affected by the rawasm 
directive.As such is only a patial work around
