Will this do the trick?  From "xcopy /?" on my XP box:

  /EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]...
        Specifies a list of files containing strings.  Each string
        should be in a separate line in the files.  When any of the
        strings match any part of the absolute path of the file to be
        copied, that file will be excluded from being copied.  For
        example, specifying a string like \obj\ or .obj will exclude
        all files underneath the directory obj or all files with the
        .obj extension respectively.
