Possible reason could be that the manual suggests excluding the directory
where the client is installed. Because if the client tries to backup
itself, then it has to backup the dsmsched.log (by default stored in the
client dir). It starts the backup of that file, makes a note in the log
that that file is being processed. Then it notices that while in the middle
of the file, that it has changed, so it starts over. Then it makes a note
in the log that the file has changed and is trying again. Then it notices
that in middle of backup up the file has changed, ...
It does this about 4-5 times then gives up on that file leaving a couple of
'failures' in the backup summary.
But if you change the dsm.opt and dsm.sys files, you want them backed up.
So you put them somewhere else. It seems to me that /etc/tivoli would be a
better choice than /usr/bin/, but thats just me.

Just checked my client install. Solaris client v5.2.0.
Same thing, dsm.opt and dsm.sys link to /usr/bin/ respective names.
Don't know why that choice was made.
