grep -v usually works wonders for me.
MP=`mount -t ufs | sed 's;/dev/;&r;' | egrep -v ' on /news| on /nov ' | awk '{ print $3 }'`
find ${SRCHPATHS} \! -fstype local -prune -or -print | \
egrep -v '^/news|^/nov' | \
etc.
It ain't artsy, but it works.
Incidentally: the latter find still traverses the spool. I don't really
care. I just didn't want it adding boatloads of bloat, I don't care too
much what disk I/O is like at 3AM.
