I use Deltacopy as rsync client. Works without a problem for VISTA. Check
Backuppc wiki for exclude list due to junction points.

You could always install the MS outlook backup prog, which prompts the user
to save their outlook pst on closing.

Could you back up the mail server instead of the clients?  I've used exmerge
(a free-of-charge MS utility) to break the exchange store up into individual
pst files -- then use BackupPC to back them up.  They will not get locked.
