Greetings.
  We have a TSM 3.7.2 server and a TSM 4.1.2 client in a remote location
that connects via a 256K connection. Consequently, we wish to only backup
data files and not program files. The remote computer is located in a sales
office in another state. The concept is for the mobile sales staff to copy
their document folders to drive Z: at their convenience. Then, the next
scheduled backup will send their data over the 256K connection to the TSM
server. Sounds simple, but I must have a conflict between the dsm.opt
include/exclude list and the client option set on the server. Can someone
with a clever eye have a look here and point me to the conflict?  The
dsm.opt file looks like this:

*Tivoli Storage Manager DSM.OPT file customized for the Timken Company
TCPSERVERADDRESS fhnsmw1.corp.timken.com
PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE
NODENAME PLEASANS
RESOURCEUTILIZATION 1
ERRORLOGRETENTION 7
SCHEDLOGRETENTION 7

exclude *:\...\*.ost
exclude *:\...\*.pst

exclude "Z:\Guelkerp PST\...\*"
exclude "Z:\Guidav PST\...\*"
exclude "Z:\Pattersr PST\...\*"
exclude "Z:\Roudebus PST\...\*"
exclude "Z:\Pleasans PST\...\*"

The node is associated with client option set WINREMOTE. It looks like this:

ANS8000I Server command: 'q cloptset winremote'

                     Optionset: WINREMOTE

I have also invoked dsmc.exe and issued the q inclexcl command. The results
are:

Again, I wish to include all of drive Z: except for the PST files. The
dsmsched.log shows drive Z: being scanned, but nothing is backed up. Where
is my conflict? Please?

TIA
