Try this instead:

============================

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '*' => [ '/selinux/*',
           '/dev/*',
           '/var/lib/backuppc',
           'data',
           '/data/*',
           '/proc/*'
         ]
};

============================

This will apply to all shares. If you want to be specific, replace the
'*' with the share name.
