Honestly the simple solution would be along the lines of:
random_exclude_regexp = (private|trashyPop|demos)
Or we could go fancier and have, say, a tab delimited list of regexps to
apply.
I can't help thinking that this is going to get messy, thinking
of doing this for my personal archive I'd have:
random_exclude = (Spoken/The Hobbit|TV Stuff/Samples/Wav's| .. )
I find it easier to just reload when this happens although I guess
that I'm alone here!
How about this?

That patch didn't work for me. It didn't select any directory at all.
I'm new to patching though. I applied it to the latest CVS. Is that
correct? Then I added a random_exclude_dirs value to
/etc/gnump3d/gnump3d.conf. Correct? Then I killed and reloaded gnump3d
and tested.
