How do I write a Directive to exclude REPAIRDISK (NT4)?

I have a problem when backing up NT4 clusters with Networker. When REPAIRDISK runs it starts winmsd.exe which then fails with a DR. Watson error. It seems like the easiest thing to do is to exclude REPAIRDISK from the backup, and this is what I tried.
I have specified All in the save set field and tried the to use the following directive to exclude REPAIRDISK:

<<&quot;REPAIRDISK:\&quot;>>
+skip: *


Unfortunately this does not work. I have also tried several other permutations, such as:

<</>>
skip: &quot;REPAIRDISK:\&quot;


Any help here would be appreciated.

P.S. I realise that I could specify the savesets individually, but this adds the risk that a new disk could be added and not backed up if I weren't notified.
 
I'll answer my own question.
After some more messing about and some lateral thinking I finally cracked it. The directive that works is as follows:

<< &quot;REPAIRDISK:\&quot; >>
skip: &quot;.&quot; &quot;*.*&quot;


Hope this can help someone else.
