If you're not in a hurry, how about using the -skip commandline parameter
to exclude everything except the directories you want to keep?
See below for an excerpt from the Ghost2001 manual; I'm pretty sure that
the -skip command goes back to at least Ghost 5 (before Norton bought it).
Hope that helps,

-skip=x
Skip File. Causes Norton Ghost to exclude the indicated files during an
operation. A skip entry can specify a single file, directory, or multiple files
using the * wildcard. File names must be given in short file name format
and all pathnames are absolute. Only FAT system files are able to be
skipped. It is not possible to skip files on NTFS or other file systems. The
skip switch may only be included in the command line once. To specify
multiple skip entries, they must be included in a text file indicated using
-skip=@skipfile. The format of the skip text file skipfile matches the format
used with the CRC32 vexcept option.
Examples:
-skip=\windows\user.dll
Skips the file user.dll in the windows directory.
-skip=*\readme.txt
Skips any file called readme.txt in any directory.
-skip=\ghost\*.dll
Skips any file ending with .dll in the ghost directory.
Norton Ghost command-line switches
-skip=\progra~1\
Skips the whole program files directory (note the short file name).
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Skips files as outlined in the skipfile.txt file. For example, the skipfile.txt
contains:
*\*.tmt
[partition:1]
\windows\
*\*.exe
[Partition:2]
*\*me.txt
This would skip all *.tmt files on any partition, the windows directory and
any *.exe files on the first partition, and any file that ended with the me.txt
on the second partition.
