how to exclude folders from Library update

Hi, I have Volumio running on a Pi 2 with a hard drive connected to it. There is my music stored and as well a folder for Transmission. Update Library does not work well for me and I think it could be because the transmission folder mess the daemon up. So how can I exclude this folder from the update process?

With much playing around there is a way you can select a specific folder.
By editing the mpd.conf file to point to the specific folder you want
The default one is
Var/lib/mpd/music/
In that directory you will see INTERNAL NETWORK and USB
if you have one folder on one usb you use then I found it works just fine adding that folder.
Var/lib/mpd/music/USB/name of your drive/ name of folder/
