I've got this on my Solaris master server:

/apps/netbackup/dssu*
/u*/app/oracle/
/u*/ORA*/

The top entry is slash-less and it does exclude all my DSSU mounts.

[root at osiris ~]# df -h | grep dssu
/dev/vx/dsk/osiris_san01/apps2b  1000G  1000G    46M   100% /apps/netbackup/dssu
/dev/vx/dsk/osiris_san01/apps2c   2.9T   2.3T   605G    80% 
/apps/netbackup/dssu2
