This option can by definition not be in rdiff-backup. rdiff-backup makes versioned backups, and in order to be possible to go back to a previous version, all files ever added at one time must stay in the backup. The only thing you can do, is to add excludes now. You could then use the --remove-older-than option to delete the old backups (versions) which still contain those directories - but this will of course also delete all other files in those older versions.
