I think I ran into the answer to your problem during my own research. Try here:

at the bottom of the page it has a link to help with Holidays.

=NETWORKDAYS(A1,B1,HOLIDAYS)

HOLIDAYS is the name you can give (via the Name Box) to the range where you list holiday dates that you don't want to be counted in the difference. This function requires that the Analysis Toolpak add-in be installed (via Tools|Add-ins).
