Sorry to take so long to get round to replying to this. Especially when you
work for such a worthy organisation!

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. You could try
  FILEEXCLUDE /directry/subdirectoryname/*
though which is more efficient.

Again, I don't see anything wrong with the above, but
  FILEEXCLUDE *
  FILEINCLUDE /dir/*
should work fine. Actually, you don't even need the FILEEXCLUDE * -- the
FILEINCLUDE implies that everything else is excluded (as long as there's no
previous FILEINCLUDE or FILEEXCLUDE).
