AFAIK we still do not have the include.dir option :-)
But "exclude /.../*" left alone will do the trick.

Aside from a desperate need to update both your TSM client *and* AIX OS
out
of unsupported levels ;o), you can add

        exclude /.../*
        include.dir /.../*

to your TSM client option file. I know the .dir extension was available in
3.7; I think it works in 3.1 as well. Of course, as with all unsupported
levels, YMMV.
