Add the Options stuff given above after the existing options, because 
(from the manual): "Once Bacula determines that the Options resource 
matches the file under consideration, that file will be saved without 
looking at any other Options resources that may be present. This means 
that any wild cards must appear before an Options resource without 
wild cards.

If for some reason, Bacula checks all the Options resources to a file 
under consideration for backup, but there are no matches (generally 
because of wild cards that don't match), Bacula as a default will then 
backup the file. This is quite logical if you consider the case of no 
Options clause is specified, where you want everything to be backed 
up, and it is important to keep in mind when excluding as mentioned above.

However, one additional point is that in the case that no match was 
found, Bacula will use the options found in the last Options resource. 
As a consequence, if you want a particular set of "default" options, 
you should put them in an Options resource after any other Options."

That should explain what you see...

Cheers,

Arno
