Why not just take out ALL the DOMAIN lines from your DSM.OPT and let it default 
to ALL-LOCAL. Which will get you all local drives
(now and in the future!) plus the systemstate,systemservices. If there's a 
specific drive you DON'T want as part of your domain,
it's easier to list what you don't want (and let it remain dynamic for whey you 
add/remove drives) thatn to list what you want and
always have to make changes.

DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL -E:

To do everything but the E: drive. If you're specifying drive letters to 
INCLUDE, you lose the dynamic ability of the ALL-LOCAL.

I'll give that a go. My dsm.opt file doesn't currently have a line like that, 
although it does have

DOMAIN  SYSTEMSERVICES
DOMAIN  SYSTEMSTATE

Add your new drive to the DOMAIN statement of your option file

DOMAIN C: D: E:

I think it is not considered a local drive, that's why it is not being included 
by default on the backup.
