- Why do you hardcode the hostname in RsyncClientCmd instead of using  
the $host variable? The default is '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host  
$rsyncPath $argList+'. With sudo it would become '$sshPath -q -x -l  
backuppc $host /usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList+'.
- I only have --ignore-times in RsyncRestoreArgs, not in RsyncArgs.

I don't know why the exclude doesn't seem to show up. Did you modify  
any other configuration settings? Is /usr/local/bin actually being  
backed up?
