If you set RsyncShareName to /home/sorin you need to define a key /home/sorin 
for BackupFilesExclude and add /Videos and /ownCloud to this key

It should look like this in your config file:
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
  '/home/sorin'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '/home/sorin' => [
    '/Videos',
    '/ownCloud'
  ]
};
