What setting should I have in the "ExcludeSyncFolders" to prevent nickel from scanning the directories every time I do a reset? Nickel takes an excruciating long time "importing content" when I reset the reader and since I don't use that as my reader, it does not need to be accessed by nickel
If you don't want to import when you reset, you won't be able to do this with a config option, as that will be cleared when you sign out or reset. Here is a build of my mod (and the source) which will persist unless you do a full reset (which also wipes your books) or you manually remove it over telnet or ssh. You'll need to copy KoboRoot.tgz into the .kobo dir.

Tell me if this works for you (it shouldn't attempt to import anything new from any dir named books anymore). Note that this will probably remove the book from nickel (but not the sd card), so you may want to make a copy of the contents of KOBOeReader first.
