I don't know the answer, and I don't speak Solaris.
But, look in your dsmerror.log file and see if there is a message with a
timestamp that matches when you got the "unknown system error". Sometimes
there will be additional info there that is useful (and sometimes not).
I also found this item in IBMLINK, if it applies to you:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
When having a automount managed filesystem, an incremental
backup results in
ANS4014E Error processing '/home/guest/': unknown system
error (140) encountered. Program ending.
This message is seen when doing a
dsmc i /home/guest/
In some cases it has been necessary to submit a successfull
incremental backup, the error appeared with subsequent
incremetals. The error only shows up while the local
directory is mounted to the automounted local automount
filesystem. This problem has been recreated on the AIX
and Solaris operating systems.
LOCAL FIX:
Stop automounter while doing the backup.
PROBLEM SUMMARY: An inremental backup of an automounted
filesystem resulted in an error message 'ANS4014E Error
processing /path/: unkown system error (140) encountered.
Program ending.'

Subject: /netscape not being backed up
Hello *SM'ers:
First, my client and server versions:
NODE V R L SL PLATFORM_NAME
-------- -- -- -- -- ----------------
<<other clients (at 3.1.0.6) are not shown.>>
ICOM005 3 1 0 6 SUN SOLARIS
ICOM007 3 1 0 3 SUN SOLARIS
Session established with server ADSMICOM: AIX-RS/6000
Server Version 3, Release 1, Level 2.50
Server date/time: 02/22/01 08:56:10 Last access: 02/21/01 15:40:32
Operating system is AIX 4.3.2.0 for the server.
Operating system is Solaris 2.6 for the clients.
Problem: /netscape is not being backed up (nor seen) by the adsm
incremental backups on icom005. I do see it on icom007. I don't see any
differences between the filesystems. If I do dsmc q fi, I don't see
/netscape on icom005. I do see it in the icom007 list.
Details:
I have the following command being run daily on the Sun clients:
/opt/IBMadsm-c/dsmc i >$logfile 2>&1
It will not backup /netscape on icom005, but it will back up all the other
active filesystems.
When I try the following command:
/opt/IBMadsm-c/dsmc i -su=y '/netscape/*'
I get the following output:
Incremental backup of volume '/netscape/*'
ANS4014E Error processing '/netscape/*': unknown system error (140)
encountered. Program ending.
Now, if I go to icom007 (older version of client):
I get the expected output of:
Incremental backup of volume '/netscape/*'
Normal File--> 70 /netscape/testfile [Sent]
Successful incremental backup of '/netscape/*'
I don't have anything except core in the inclexcl.def files on either
machine.
I am using DiskSuite. All slices are identical to my knowledge.
/etc/vfstab looks the same for /netscape as for /var and /opt, for example.
The names of the slices are the same between icom005 and icom007.
Does anyone have any ideas??
