Wouldn't it be easier to study the ports this application use and use
them to generate your rules. I think what you want it's not possible,
you can't discriminate traffic using the path or name of the executable,
but I think you can do it with the user that runs the program, using a
patch from patch-o-matic, I don't know if this can suit you.

The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.
