Excludes are relative to the share name.

if the share name is "c" and its path is c:\, then your excludes would 
be.....

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
 'c' => ['/Documents and Settings/*/NTUSER.DAT',/Documents and 
Settings/*/ntuser.dat.LOG', 
/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application 
Data/Microsoft/Windows/UsrClass.dat', 
/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application 
Data/Microsoft/Windows/UsrClass.dat
/UsrClass.dat.LOG' ],
};


You maybe should just exclude the entire /Documents and 
Settings/NetworkService and /Documents and Settings/LocalService

I'm not sure any of that data is necessary for data based backup.

Hope that helps.
