I have done that quite often in the past without an itch.
For example, a disklist.conf entry for a DLE, I exclude everything below
path{1,2,3,4} but not the subdirs themselves:
client_hostname /some/dle {
app-amgtar-span
estimate server
index no
exclude append "./path1/*"
exclude append "./path2/*"
exclude append "./path3/*"
exclude append "./path4/*"
}
