Hmm, through the web client, 'actioned' does indeed appear as an active
directory entry and a select on BACKUPS confirms it,

In the meantime, I am still wondering if there is a connection between
the 'InsertSlashHack: missing dir delimiter' message in the dsmerror.log
and the fact that specifying the backup of /app/bsmsb01/app/generis
*WITH* the trailing slash avoids the 'Expiring; Active object not found'
problem.
A little history to the problem I have since discovered;
The actioned dir used to exist, and was then deleted. Then the 'Active
Object Not Found' message was encountered at the next backup. Since then
the 'actioned' dir has been re-created. So;
If the 'actioned' dir actually exists at the moment, why is TSM trying
to expire it? - as far as I am aware, TSM doesn't use INODE numbers to
determine if a file has changed? - and why does it try to expire it only
if the trailing slash of the filespace name is not specified in the
'dsmc i' command?
I think there must be some subtle difference to processing with as
opposed to without the trailing '/'

Hi, Matthew -
Another of those cases where the client programming fails to explain
problems that it finds and could interpret, resulting in a lot of
wasted customer time.
I believe that this condition can occur where there is a conflict in
file system object type. For example, the object was originally
backed up and stored in TSM storage as a directory, but in the
current backup the TSM client finds that object to be a file. The CLI
output is not helpful in this case, except to verify existence, as
the CLI remains exasperatingly primitive, even in TSM 5, failing to
provide any way to report the object type. You could instead use the
GUI, drilling down to that point in the filespace, to identify the
object type; or do a more arduous Select in the BACKUPS table for
TYPE. (In worse cases, there may be non-visible binary bytes in the
name which throw things off, put there by the file's creator, or by
file system corruption.)
You'll have to poke around to ascertain what the story is, and
possibly compensate by object renaming in the client file system.
