How Can I Skip Whole Directories?

Hi. I'm building an Ant task whose xml looks like:

      <AnalyzeRequest debug="yes" srcdir="${src}" message="Hello World!
MyVeryOwnTask works!">
         <!-- <include name="**/*.java"/> -->
         <include name="*.cfm"/>
         <exclude name="\\trud-dev\wwwroot\tru_build\images"/>
      </AnalyzeRequest>

However, the documentation on how to exclude directories seems to be
missing. Can someone help?

Also, is there a way to turn off directory recursing?

      <exclude name="\\trud-dev\wwwroot\tru_build\images\**"/>

will exclude directory and all sup-directories while 

      <exclude name="\\trud-dev\wwwroot\tru_build\images\*"/>

will just exclude that directory but will still include
sub-directories.

is the above sufficient ?
