In this section below: def clientaction vmserv3 action=a Options="-subdir=yes -archmc=MC_ESX" objects="/vmfs/volumes/vmserv3:storage1/"
Change to: def clientaction vmserv3 action=a Options="-subdir=yes -archmc=MC_ESX" objects="/vmfs/volumes/vmserv3:storage1/*" (Note the ' * ' at the end of the Objects line) And see what happens. Without it you are just telling it to get that directory, not all the files in that directory, which will exclude subdirs, I think. I could be wrong, not looking at help files.
