Try `mdls /path/to/file.ext` and check the kMDItemContentType, it might be 
of the form "dyn.[string]".

You can insert these in the exclude field of the custom catalogue, but it 
won't work and if you give focus there a second time it will crash QS.

Anyway, apart from your particular use of QS, I see two options to try — 
assign an application to open the undesirable types and see if they are 
excluded from a catalogue, or use the Types field instead of Exclude types.

You can also file a feature request in the tracker for excluding unknown 
types.
