There are ways around this. For instance, I use this RsyncClientCmd:
$sshPath -q -x -l backuppc $host sudo $rsyncPath
--exclude-from=/home/backuppc/exclude $argList+
Then I symlink the "/home/backuppc/exclude" file somewhere where the
user can create a file with the list of patterns to exclude from backup.
An alternative that may work, but involves fiddling with the action
dispatch code, is here:

See also the comment (by me, incidentally).
Cheers,
Paulo
