As far as I know there is no way to prevent dsm to run into an excluded
subtree. You can only exclude files. No doubt, there are environments which
require to exclude directories, too. In our case the missing feature
causes the dsm schedule process to examine 400000 files although I can
clearly state in advance that none of the files is a candidate for backup.

I am waiting of the response to the PMR I have written for this problem.
