What about using tar?
tar cvf /dev/rmt/1mb "directory1" "directory2" "directory3"
The only caveat is that it will backup the directory file
structure as it is, so if you do a restore, it will restore
over top of the same place (it will overwrite).
Whereas:
cd /directory1 ; tar cvf /dev/rmt/1mb "."
Will backup the directory with relative filenames,
so if you wanted to restore you could:
cd /tmp ; tar xvf /dev/rmt/1mb "."+the filename
(do a tar tvf /dev/rmt/1mb to see the filename structure,
since they will all start with "./" you can restore
the files anywhere, setup a Q pointer to that directory
and copy out what yout want.)
or
If all 6 six accounts are the only directories under a parent,
you could:
cd /parent_directory ; tar cvf /dev/rmt/1mb --exclude "exclude directory"
--exclude "exclude directory" "." (or use -X filename) and place all the
directories to exclude in that file
