This is as designed. The -dir/-rec/-all flags do not take arguments;
once you say -rec it will operate on everything under the cwd. It may
be a bug that it doesn't warn you the 'dir1' argument is superfluous.
Note that ClearCase-Wrapper is smart enough to include the current
directory (and any view-private parent directories) in its search.
Therefore the right way to mkelem dir1 but not dir2 in your situation
is to cd into dir1 and then do a "ct mkelem -rec" from there. It will
detect that "." is view private and make it an element.
One caveat about this feature - the shell will be confused about its
cwd when ct returns because "." now has a different inode. At least
in the ksh you can deal with that by issuing a "cd $PWD" afterwards.
Depending on view parameters you may need to also flush the view
cache. So this is the sequence I typically go through in this case:
% ct mkelem -rec -ptime -ok
% ct setcs -curr
% cd $PWD
