I'm with greg. I'd hate to rule on this. I'd like to say that DP
are physical but there are some entities that belie this thinking.
Obviously soul-strike doesn't actually damage the soul. Otherwise
killing someone with it would obliterate their soul... doesn't
happen. So soul-strike must latch onto some component of the
target (soul, mind, spirit, who knows... though soul seems the
likeliest) and then causes DP damage... whatever that is.

What exactly DP is is a fundamental question that gets asked
repeatedly and no good theories have been put forth. Sadly.

As soon as thats answered a lot of other stuff will fall into
place.
