Possible reason could be that the manual suggests excluding the directory where the client is installed. Because if the client tries to backup itself, then it has to backup the dsmsched.log (by default stored in the client dir). It starts the backup of that file, makes a note in the log that that file is being processed. Then it notices that while in the middle of the file, that it has changed, so it starts over. Then it makes a note in the log that the file has changed and is trying again. Then it notices that in middle of backup up the file has changed, ...
It does this about 4-5 times then gives up on that file leaving a couple of 'failures' in the backup summary. But if you change the dsm.opt and dsm.sys files, you want them backed up. So you put them somewhere else. It seems to me that /etc/tivoli would be a better choice than /usr/bin/, but thats just me.
