Hello Dierk, It is true that -DELETEFILES does not delete directories. Try searching the ADSM-L archives for criteria:
+raibeck +deletefiles +directories for some discussions on this subject. Note that -DELETEFILES is valid for the "dsmc archive" command only. It is not a valid INCLUDE.ARCHIVE option.

The command line is your friend. "Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
