My first reaction is why would you use anything older than version 1.4.6 which is the current supported version with many bug fixes and looks for current rootkits? Those two versions are five and seven years old now and probably won't find any RK's in use today.
So you actually have a “/path/to/exclude/bla/bla” that needs to be excluded? There is nothing like that in the current /etc/rkhunter.conf, so unless you have a actual path named that, delete the entry.
