Can you reproduce this by running a manual incremental backup against the
container directory for this file?

   dsmc i <dir>

where <dir> is the name of the directory containing the file. Make sure to
put a '/' at the end of the directory name, i.e.,

   dsmc i /somedir/

If the file is skipped, can you provide the command line (dsmc) output
showing the results of the incremental? Also, provide the output from:

   dsmc query inclexcl

What happens if you do:

   dsmc selective <filename>

(you fill in the <filename> with the correct directory and name of the
file.)

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
