I stand corrected: Use the method Navajo mentions.

In my defense, in figuring out how to exclude these directories I tried 'man locate' which told me nothing about excluding directories and nothing about creating a configuration file for locate.updatedb (/etc/locate.rc), and 'locate locate' to find any files associated with 'locate' and since there's no /etc/locate.rc on my machine I found no mention anywhere of an alternate way of controlling locate.updatedb. Nothing is even mentioned in the source of locate.updatedb.
