OK, the Q INCLEXCL output is what we're interested in. You read the Q INCLEXCL from the top down (opposite of the dsm.opt file). Notice that all the dir excludes (EXCLUDE.DIR) are at the top, since those are always filtered first, regardless of how they are positioned.
So starting from the top down, I see this above the INCLUDE for the new management class: Include All *\...\* Server So that's why the new INCLUDE is ineffective. There are a lot of other excluded files below that are probably getting backed up.
