I tried doing this myself, unsuccessfully.  To test, I created a
/usr/sup/refuse file with one line, containing the word "ham," in the hope
that the /usr/pkgsrc/ham directory would be ignored.  (My coll.list looks
just like Greg's above.)  I then deleted the ham directory and ran sup.
When it finished updating pkgsrc, I had a new ham directory.

I can't see from the sup man page what I did wrong.  Any ideas?

Thanks.
