I may be misunderstanding what you want, but it sounds like you should
be doing the opposite.  Do one exclude that excludes everything, then do
specific includes for what you do want.  That way, when people add new
directories, they're automatically excluded unless you put in a specific
include for it.  As far as excluding for archives, it's slightly
different than for backups.

Rather than 'Exclude *:\...\*' , you would say 'Exclude.archive
*:\...\*' .

First of all I want to let everyone know that I have been looking at
the
manuals and website :) Have not found my answer yet!

We are running an archive backup through a command line from a tivoli
5.2.2 client (windows). The command line only looks at the node name
and server is the dsm.opt file, not the include/exclude list. We are
trying to figure out how we can exclude directories in the archive. We
need to exclude because users are constantly adding directories, so we
need to use the exclude not include. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
