Yes, your second cut at this is more accurate. Options like "INCLUDE.ENCRYPT" or "INCLUDE.COMPRESSION" only server to indicate whether the files are encrypted or compressed (whatever is to the right of the "INCLUDE." portion). So you need the "INCLUDE" (or "INCLUDE.BACKUP") to include files for backup AND to bind them to a management class if you want them bound to something other than the default management class.
You can more easily verify encryption by doing something like: dsmc query backup /u05/Archive/somefile -detail -traceflags=query When you did the backup, were you prompted for an encryption key?
