You don't find the info in help for -FILELIST since is for files only, not
directories.

Try:

   dsmc archive /exp1/ /exp2/ -subdir=yes

tack on

   -archmc=mmmm

if you want to specify a management class other than the default.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
