Based on what you show above, you should have received an error. You 
need commas between the entries.

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
   'c$$' => [
     '\Boot\*',
     '\Documents and Settings\*'
]
};

Note the comma at the end of the "Boot" line.  A comma after the last 
entry is not required, but will not result in an error if you just want 
to add commas after all the entries for consistency.
