Narrative:

Got a taxi clearance from [FBO at] san jose (sjc) to runway 30L for IFR departure; victor; delta; charley; and bravo to 30L. Started out on victor but passed delta due to it was the start of a +4000 foot abandoned runway. Believed he meant us to pass delta to charley the way we always used to go. Did not want to cross 29 runway that is still shown on my airport diagram with jepps charts. As we were passing charley to bravo; ground control called and asked why we did not follow his directions; turning on delta and hold up at charley for an intersection departure. I guess we screwed up but did hear a clearance to bravo which would have brought us to the end of 30L. Never thought to cross runway 29 at delta on our way to runway 30L. I wish jepps would delete the 29/11 runway from its airport diagrams. We did not conflict with any traffic on our way to 30L but did cause the ground controller to waste his time to ask us what we were doing.
