First of all, what type of volume is this? Is this a directory or
filesystem? Do you want to exclude all files underneath the directory or
just the directory itself? By the way, the exclude.dir option works only if
the excluded directory is a sub-directory; if you explicitly specify the
directory or the files within it, the file is backed up.

Example:

exclude.dir /migrate/
 or
exclude /migrate/.../*
