In this case create a exclude list per policy and add only what you want to exclude for that specific policy, this way you avoid any confusion and you know exactly what are you backing and excluding under every single job.

From your description what I understood is you want particular path to exclude for a specific client for all policies
For this you can enter the exclude path under Client ost Properties under All Policies.
Refer to below mentioned screenshot for your reference.
For more infromation on exclude list, refer to Page Number 410 from NBU Admin Guide I
Hope this helps you...

Thanks Guys
What I have seen in the Admin guide is that if you have 2 or more exclude lists Netbackup only uses the one that is the most specific.
Now that I understand this can you please tell me the following?
If I exclude the mdf and ldf files for all policies will my sql backups via the sql client still work and backup the databases successfully and only skip the mdf and ldf files when I backup the local drives?

The client that I backup have a C:\, D:\, E:\, F:\ and G:\ drive where the SQL databases are on the E-drive, so when I run a policy with the selection ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES I don’t want to backup the mdf ldf files as they get backed up with the agent and also I don’t want to backup the D-Drive.
I have created the exclude list for all policies to exclude the D-drive and then created another exclude list that excludes the mdf ldf files but then it started to backup the D-drive again, as I understand the policy specific exclude list is the most specific it uses that and seems to ignore the exclude D-drive from all policies.
What I want to know is that if I exclude the D-drive and the mdf ldf files from all policies will my SQL database backups that I backup with the NBU SQL agent still work fine?
