Ray,

I had the same problem on some systems when I use the dsm.sys which was
installed by default.  The serves which have had problems have dsm.sys
that look like the one below:

        *//ADSM_LOCAL_SERVER_STANZA
        Servername         localSrv
        TCPPort            1500
        TCPServeraddress   f2n5e
        PASSWORDAccess     Generate
        *//END_ADSM_LOCAL_SERVER_STANZA

        *//ADSM_TOUR_STANZA
        Servername         adsmTour
        TCPPort            32767
        TCPServeraddress   f2n5e
        PASSWORDAccess     Generate
        *//END_ADSM_TOUR_STANZA

        ERRORLOGRETENTION  7
        SCHEDLOGRETENTION  7
        INCLEXCL           /usr/lpp/adsm/bin/inclexcl

I added the last three lines which were all ignored.  However, the
following dsm.sys works just fine.

        Servername         localSrv
        TCPServeraddress   f2n5c
        PASSWORDAccess     Generate
        ERRORLOGRETENTION  7
        SCHEDLOGRETENTION  7
        INCLEXCL           /usr/lpp/adsm/bin/inclexcl

I deleted the first dsm.sys and keyed in the entries I wanted and the
include, exclude statements worked as expected.  I cannot tell you why
the first file causes a problem, I just know that once I used the second
file and ran "dsmc incr" the files I wanted excluded were expired as
expected and were no longer backed up.
