This is a FAQ. Directory information is sent to the management class with
the longest retention period. You can use the DIRMC option (dsm.opt) to
override the default behavior.

Although this *is* a rather obscure feature, ADSM support *should* know
better... The mystery is solved by the options.txt document (or options.wri
for win32 platforms) in the client directory, which states:

6.21 DIRMC
Use the DIRMC option to specify the management class you want ADSM to
use for directories. If you do not use this option to associate a
management class with directories, ADSM uses the management class in the
active policy set of your policy domain that has the longest retention
period.
When choosing a management class for directories, be sure to choose one
that allows ADSM to retain directories at least as long as it retains
the files associated with them.
