I agree that the bpplexclude command won't work, but bpplinclude should.

I did a quick test and used bpplinclude to add a path to a policy.  
Then verified that it was shown via bpplinclude -l.  Went to the gui 
(Java right on Solaris Master) and sure enough, policy wasn't listed.  
Selected the policy name in the tree and hit refresh.  Then went to the 
"Backup Selections"  and the new path was listed.

I'm running NBU 5.1_1 on Solaris 9.

I also deleted from the GUI and bpplinclude -l  shows that change too.
