The options and objects you fill in for the schedule are the same as if
you specified from the "dsmc" command line. For example, to back up this
directory manually, you would run:

   dsmc selective /export/home/ -subdir=yes

(omitting the '*' eliminates the need for double quotes around the file
spec)

So to put this in a schedule, the corresponding OBJECTS and OPTIONS should
match:

   define schedule ... objects=/export/home/  options=-subdir=yes

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