The way the directives would work is you would either need to indicate each 
individual directory you want skipped or do the subdirectory.

so it would be if you wanted to do everything under /var/test your directive 
would be

<</var/test>>
+skip: . (this will skip the current directory and all files and sub 
directories beneath it)


Or if there are certain subdirectories you would need to lest them individually
