How do i ask a travel agent or AA to book this in AA Codeshare rather than Gulf Air flight number. I list Gulf Air flights are on AA Codeshare directory.

So you want it ticketed by AA? Look up the AA flight numbers and hand them to them.
If it gets more expensive - then that's the way it is. Because as it is right now with your itinerary, it'd be ticketed and sold by Gulf Air on Gulf Air ticket stock, so their fare might differ.

(Instead of flight numbers date, origin, destination and time should suffice, too)

Makes Sense.

That brings to my original question which i asked some time ago (not sure if i asked on flyertalk). What exclusion is AA talking about on there codeshare website page

https://www.aa.com/i18n/AAdvantage/e...s/gulf-air.jsp

"Specific flights, routes or cities that are excluded from earning miles or award travel are listed as exceptions if applicable."

Technically i am flying GULF AIR from DFW to BAH.

No technically you're flying American Airlines as the flight is operated by AA. As for AA metal it doesn't matter what flight number is on there.
That's also below the chart: So I'm not really sure whether you'll earn miles according to the AA accrual chart as it doesn't state Middle East as a qualifying region. As per Gulf Air's accrual chart there's NO accrual for TATL flights.

Just give them a call and inquire.

As for the exceptions, that's a standard part of the accrual site. For example, if you click to Jet Airways, you'll find the following beneath the chart:
