You could do a script that does a find /dira /dirb filea fileb /dirc -print
| egrep -v "badfile1|baddir2|badfile3" into a file and then uses the
file-list option of bpbkar.

Can you change the user-directed backup to a scheduled one?  You could
create a policy & filelist & exclude file.  Then use the "bpsched -IB
-policy <policyname>" call to initiate a "scheduled" backup on demand.
 
Otherwise, I think you're about to get creative with scripting to exclude
the filesystems - writing a wrapper that generates a filelisting somehow,
excluding these filesystems, then calling bpbackup for the remaing
filesystems.
 
I don't know if the "!filename" form works for bpbackup or not.

Is there any way to do an exclude list for a user directed backup? 

Here is the situation: 

I have 2 servers that are backed up via a 3rd party scheduler. 
These 2 servers are Oracle servers and I need to exclude /mounpointA/oradata
and backup /mountpointB/orabackup. 
The 3rd party scheduler runs a bpbackup command that calls a specific file
list. 
The filesystems are (for the most part) broken out with the Oracle data
being on filesystems  1-40 and Oracle backups being on 41-60. 

The issue is that some of the oradata filesystems have things other than
just oradata there ... 
/mountpt/oradata 
/mountpt/test 

test would need to be backed up, where oradata would need to be excluded. 

So, the question is... Can I do an exclude list for a user backup? Or do I
need to explicitly state "/mountpt/test" in the files to backup list
associated with the user backup?

TIA and sorry if this is hard to follow...
