Actually, there is much I don't know about the linux file tree yet. 
After a little more thought, I will add these to my exclude list:

tmp/
var/empty/
var/lib/
var/lock/
var/log/
var/mail/
var/run/
var/spool/
var/state/

I can't exclude all of var/ because gentoo uses parts of it to catalogue 
installed programs.
