Yes, I found that option last night and it seems to work well (though
apparently you only use double backslashes if you're quoting it). I also saw
a reference to a directive called IgnoreDir (not in the manual), but I
couldn't seem to get that to work.

Thanks!

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

http://bacula.org/manuals/en/install/install/Configuring_Director.html#SECTI
ON00670000000000000000


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.
