NBU 6.5.4 and Exchange 2003 SP2 backup

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi
I have NBU 6.5.4 and Exchange 2003 SP2 installed on Windows 2003 R2 SP2
Yesterday my NBU server and Exchange client were upgraded from 6.5.1 to 6.5.4 and today I'm trying to run Exchange backup with GRT (Document-level restore option).
Before upgrade I was able to enter Exchange directive like "Microsoft Information Store:\*store1*" but after upgrade I'm unable to enterstore name in backup policy selection. I can only choose between "Information Store" and "Directory". I have 4 Exchange stores (User_Store1, Management_Store1, Users_Store2, Management_Store2) and I want to backup only stores with "Store1" in store name.
How can I choose the store name?

Try a client downgrade to 6.0 MP7 or use VSS
We have similar headaches.
We have 6.5.4 masters
Exchange 2003 and 2008 clients some on 6.5.4 others at 6.0 MP7
Curiously, if you unzip the 6.0 and 6.5 installation package CAB files, you will see that there are some exchange dll files missing from the 6.5 source. Same story with 6.5.x patch CABs - I looked at each version.
When installed, the folder structures look different, with the newer version having no exchange folder 'Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\dbext\MsExchg'
I found something in the NBU for Exchange Admin guide that says 2007 can only be backed up by VSS snaps. Not found 2003 VSS statement yet.
Consequently, with our 6.5 clients, we have only be able to perform VSS backups using the 'perform snapshot backups' option.
I also had to recreate the policy, for no tangible reason.
Just a few clues for you to look into.

typo - 2007 not 2008!

I'm using commandline to add entries to Backup Selection:
Works like charm :)
