The short answer is "no".

The man page says: The pattern cannot be ".." and must not contain any
"/" characters (all names must be  within  the  current  directory).

Try something along the lines of:

<< "C:\" >>
  +skip: *.mg3 *.avi
<< "C:\I386" >>
  +skip: *.*
<< "C:\Inetput" >>
  +skip: *.*
<< "C:\WINNT" >>
  +skip: *.tmp
<< "D:\" >>
  +skip: *.mg3 *.avi
<< "D:\I386" >>
  +skip: *.*
<< "D:\Inetput" >>
  +skip: *.*
<< "D:\WINNT" >>
  +skip: *.tmp

George.
