Clearly your excludes are not working the way you haad expected.
However, one way to solve this more easily is to simply add the
- --one-file-system parameter to the rsync command (in backuppc config

The next step would be to provide enough information so someone can
tell you what is wrong with your configuration. (ie, send a copy of
your hostname.pl file).
