Unfortunately, the Q INCLEXCL is rather long (>230 lines) so I probably
shouldn't post it here.  There are a bunch of application database file
specific excludes (says "Operating System") plus various other SQL
excludes.

I added the suggested additional "temp/tmp" excludes and last nights run
does not show any "temp" files being excluded.  I still get the "out of
memory" error, thought.

Zoltan,

OK... so can we see a complete Q INCLEXCL output for the node?

Also, what happens if you try to manually back up data in a temp
directory?
Does it back them up? Or do you see messages that indicate the files are
excluded?

   dsmc s "C:\Documents and Settings\wshuart\Local Settings\Temp\*" -su=y

I would expect if the excludes are properly set up, you'll see messages
indicating the files are excluded.
