INCLUDE and EXCLUDE (without any '.' extensions) affect binding of files only, not directories. If your directories are being bound to 8YR_CLASS, then it is either because you have a DIRMC statement that specifies this class, or it happens to be the class with the longest RETONLY setting.
Some questions: 1) What versions of TSM are you running on the TSM client and the TSM server? 2) Is the client options set associated with the specific node name? Issue QUERY NODE with the F=D option for the node name in question to confirm that this is the case. 3) What does the complete client options set look like? I'm not sure if you have provided the entire set or just an extract. 4) Do you have an include-exclude file for the client node? What does it look like? 5) From the client machine, what is the output from this command: QUERY INCLEXCL Regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Tucson/IBM@IBMUS Internet e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
