Robert,

In looking at the content of sign.excl, it looks like the double quotation
marks are "smart quotes" and not straight quotes. Maybe it is just your
email program putting in smart quotes, but make sure you use straight
quotes in the file.

Also, if the EXCLUDE statement is meant to exclude all files (except those
from your INCLUDE statement), you should just specify:

   EXCLUDE *

However, I do not think the content of sign.excl is the issue; otherwise
TSM would complain about the sign.excl content (include or exclude
statements). Instead, TSM is complaining about the INCLE statement itself.

Double check the file name and path, and that permissions are not at issue.

Best regards,

- Andy
