I've a similar problem with the 8.1.0.0 client on a Red Hat 8 system:

ANS0361I DIAG: incrdrv.cpp         (10473): ERROR: PrivIncrFileSpace(): path 
'/home/sys/sccwww-intern/Software/TS
M/statistik/Kontakte/install-mails' contains more directory levels than it can 
be processed...

ANS1999E Incremental processing of '/home/sys/sccwww-intern' stopped.

ANS6718E The path contains too many nested subdirectories. The maximum number 
of nested  directories is 1400.


A PMR was opened.

IBM has proposed to set the following in the dsm.opt option file:

TESTFLAGS threadstacksize:2048

In my case it has helped as a workaround.
