Exclusion in Windows VMware Image plugin

I'm seeing these in a handful of VM backups:

"avtar Error <40008>: Unable to retrieve volume information for 'A:\' (Code: 0x57 code 87: The parameter is incorrect)"

I thought I would add an exclusion to the VMware Image Dataset/Windows VMware Plugin, but it's greyed out. Would adding an exclusion to the Windows VSS or Windows File System plugins accomplish the same goal?
