So now I might be able to help....

Change the last part to:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '/var' => [
    '/lib/backuppc'
  ]
};

or

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  'var' => [
    '/lib/backuppc'
  ]
};

I'm not sure if the literal share name is needed or not. Of course, you
could use * and just fixup the directory to exclude, but that would also
exclude a directory called /home/lib/backuppc which in this instance
probably wouldn't matter (wouldn't happen) but with another example may
make a big difference....

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Adam
