How about a client side file list in the Exclude section of the fileset

http://bacula.org/manuals/en/install/install/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION00670000000000000000


FileSet {
  Name = "Full Set"
  Include {
    Options {
      Compression=GZIP
      signature=SHA1
      Sparse = yes
    }
    @/etc/backup.list
  }
  Include {
     Options {
        Exclude = yes
     }
     File = \\<some_file_on_the_client.txt
  }
}

I have never tested this however.
