To be honest, the files you appeared to be choking on were from
/var/spool. This directory generally contains only files that are
discarded once they are spooled to whatever destination they're headed
for. If you continue to have problems, I'd be inclined to add

        exclude /var/spool/.../*

to my dsm.sys file.
