Ok, so you have two shares, '/home' and '/root'.

This will do absolutely nothing, since there is no share named 
'/home/virt_admin'

This one should work to exclude files/folders with these names under the 
'/home' share.

You should add another one here for 'virt_admin/Machines' to replace the 
non-functional exclusion above.
