Can EXPORT/IMPORT preempt if NOPREEMPT is set? I see two "opinions":

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_6.3.4/com.ibm.itsm.srv.doc/r_srv_mng_process_preempt_opts_mount_point.html?lang=en

claims that:

To disable preemption, specify NOPREEMPT in the server options file. If you 
specify this option, the BACKUP DB command and the export and import commands 
are the only operations that can preempt other operations.


But the 7.1 admin reference says:

-----------------------------
The server allows certain operations to preempt other operations for access to
volumes and devices. You can specify the NOPREEMPT option to disable
preemption. When preemption is disabled, no operation can preempt another for
access to a volume, and only a database backup operation can preempt another
operation for access to a device.
-----------------------------

I have no idea why an EXPORT would be considered important enough to preempt 
other activities...
