This is a VERY common misconfiguration.  The excludes (and includes) are of the 
format:

    'ShareName' => [ 'Exclusion1', 'Exclusion2' ]

So your config should probably look like this:

    $Conf{SmbShareName} = [
      'test'
    ];

    $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
      'test' => [
        '/Drivers/*',
        '/oracle'
      ]
    };

In the Web editor, the "New Key" is either the sharename or * (if it should 
apply to all shares).  Once you add the key, there will be a place to add 
file/directory names.

(Maybe the docs should say something about how this works in the gui.  
Currently the docs are mainly geared toward someone hand-editing the files.)
