Does 'amadmin <config> disklist omni /var/spool/... ' show indexing
turned on?

Are there index files for those DLE's under your index dir?

Was there ever a successful backup of the DLE's in question?

Does the mailed to you report show anything of interest about
failures or strange results?

I presume the DLE's for /home/{ag|hm|nt} are similar to those for
/var/spool/imap/user/{ag|hm|nt}.  Same similarity for the "uz" entries.
Yet all the /home ones are working, the "include" ones for /var... aren't.

What is different about the /home and /var/spool DLE's?

What is different about /home itself vs /var/spool/imap/user?
