To exlude my disk pool which have the mount names /sp01 /sp02 ..., I use
"exclude.fs  /sp[0-9][0-9]".

I found the gui client (AIX) to be extremely useful in checking if my syntax
performed what I wanted.  If the file system is excluded, it doesn't show up
in the gui select list.  You must exit and restart the gui after editing the
include/exclude list to force it to re-read the file.

Now, if I could just use the gui to create an include/exclude list.
