In general, this is not possible.  NDMP is something that the remote
(NDMP) host performs, and that host may not have a method for exlcuding
specific files or directories (or at least not listen to Networker if it
tries to request it).

For a particylar system though, check the vendor-specific section of the
NDMP stuff in the admin guide.  There you'll find the syntax for
exluding files from a Network Appliance filer as an example (It takes an
EXCLUDE= string with some limited wildcard capabilities).
