However, DIRMC only overides this behaviour for backup.  Archives still bind
directory objects to the management class with the longest retention,
irrespective of DIRMC or ARCHMC.  I think that at least ARCHMC (dsmc archive
/foo/baz/* -subdir=yes -archmc=30day) should cause all objects, files and
directories, that are archived to be bound to the specified mgmtclass.
Unfortunately that is not how it is designed.

Cheers...
