How do I to configure Sophos Cloud policy to exclude Linux Extended/Swap partitions?

I have a dual-boot machine, Windows 10 and Debian Linux.

I want to exclude the extended partition (sdb2) and the swap partition (sdb5) it contains from the Sophos for Linux antivirus client.

I have created a new server policy,  added exclusions for /dev/sdb2 and /debv/sdb5 and then assigned the policy to the relevant server in Sophos Central but I still receive the following email:-

An error classified as '1/0xffffffff80070057: Threat Scan Error' was detected in the file '/dev/sdb2 (namespace)' when attempting to mount it as a filesystem at Mon Aug 15 13:23:32 2016 BST +0100 (2016-08-15 12:23:32 UTC).  Access to the file was allowed.


Is there a better way of telling Sophos  to ignore Extended and Swap type partitions?
