One more thought that occurred to me on this: Your cited queries are going after the contents of a directory, en masse. A possible complication could occur where multiple users are communally using a directory, rather the more usual condition of a directory and the files in it being owned by one user. A wildcard query in a communal directory can be problematic if performed by just one of the users in it. This situation could pertain to a simultaneously shared directory, or one which has "changed hands" over time, retaining the same name.
I would try to identify a single file (perhaps from the Query CONtent operation) and perform the dsmc Query Archive on that single file, and see if that works, as a starting point.
