It works Marek, many thanks. It is enough to list the VMs you want and all
other are automatically excluded.  This is really important because it is
fast and avoids errors. Listing lots VMs with -x I could not avoid errors
very difficult to identify because the error message gave no hints. But
just adding a few VMs at the end is easy to do and to check.
