OK I found where IBM says to exclude NTUSER.DAT and USERCLASS.DAT here

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/TSMC/SH26-4117-01/en_US/HTML/ans60014.htm

*We recommend that you have the following minimum include-exclude list in
your client options file:*
*(some lines skipped)*



*   exclude "*:\documents and settings\...\ntuser.dat.LOG"   exclude
"*:\documents and settings\...\ntuser.dat"   exclude "*:\documents and
settings\...\usrclass.dat.LOG"   exclude "*:\documents and
settings\...\usrclass.dat"*

Now it looks like those are needed for the new BMR process??
