Two ideas spring to mind.
1) Write a custom task
2) Define the first fileset
Use execon to get the basename of each, and write it to a file
Use that file as an excudesfile in another patternset.
The problem is that ant will probaby expect the file to be there at parsetime, but
I patch I sumitted to ant-dev a couple of days ago will allow you to get around that
(if the patch gets applied)
