What is in the template files cisco-3750/if_col/exceptions and 
cisco-3750/if_dsc/exceptions?
Just to be sure: the Cisco-3750 ciscobswwan is a stack containing a member 
numbered 3?

This won't work, as you should specify a Perl regular expression, thus 
something like

      DEVMON:except(if_dsc;ifName;na:Gi3/0/1[2-4])
