I opened a PMR about this and the response was to disable the VSS service and run the Q INCLEXCL again. Sure enough the excludes were gone. Apparently VSS has input to what's included/excluded. I'm now trying to find out why and how I can tell VSS to butt out!
The TSM tech also said that if I put the includes in a server side CLOPTSET it would override the VSS exclude. I'm testing that now. Here's the relevant portion of my PMR response: The client usually gets the objects to exclude from either the 'filesnottobackup' section in the registry or from system writers (VSS in this case). To determine whether or not the excludes are coming from VSS, perform the following: 1. Close any client sessions 2. disable the VSS service 3. open a new dsmc session and run Q INCLEXCL If said excludes are no longer showing up, then we've demonstrated that the exclude is coming from VSS. However, in any case, you can override the excludes by creating a client option set on the TSM Server that includes the desired files/directories, and then associate the node with said client option set.

I am unable to do this as all the E*.logs are excluded by the operating system as seen in Q INCLEXCL. Why ? These files do not appear in :- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotTo Backup (we do have a daily scheduled NTbackup of Exchange....could this be the reason why they are excluded by the operating system?) Any help would be appreciated.
