Well, to exclude directories you should use exclude.dir, but be careful with
that, it will exclude directory first and then check your include
statements.
Check in your online help chapter named "Creating an Include-Exclude List".
You will find many interesting information there. By the way instead of
three your excludes you may use just one
exclude *:\Op2IR\...\*
Keep in mind, that TSM trying to backup for you some information by default,
and among this information is the information about directories. When you
exclude files you do not exclude directory that contain the files. That is
probably what you see. TSM exclude files but not directories.

Subject: Can't get EXCLUDE Right!
Question 1) When a new exclude statement is added to either an global or
client option files does it delete all previously backed up versions or just
start from the day the exclude was added?
I am trying to delete a directory and everything in it off all drives of a
server. I am using the two statements below. I am deleting all the items
within the directories, but am still backing up the millions of empty
directories. Below is what I have specified in the options file. Can you
see what might be wrong with this?
exclude *:\Op2IR\*
exclude *:\Op2IR\...\*
exclude *:\Op2IR\...\*.*
Here is what is showing up in the log when doing the scheduled backup:
