If you are using 4.5FP6 on a Solaris 10 client, you are probably well
outside of what is expected to work (4.5 is dead, and was long dead
before Solaris 10 ever existed).  

That said, mayby putting in what is complained about in the exclude file
will do the trick (i.e. if the error is "/etc/mnttab/" then try
"/etc/mnttab", not "/etc/mnttab").  

Sorry if that's not particularly helpful.  Are you getting a status 1
because of the file?  Considering how far out of a supported config this
is, you may just have to live with the status 1.  I would, however, be
concerened that other data may be at risk on the client even though it's
not generating errors.
