I'm not sure why those shouldn't work (presuming you are using XferMethod
rsync or rsyncd, that is!), but it's not the intended way.

Try

        $Conf {BackupFilesExclude} = {
          '/' => [ '/proc' ],
        };

(presuming your ShareName really is '/', which is probably the case but may
not be if you are using rsyncd or are trying to exclude a proc filesystem
mounted in a chroot environment, for example). If you need more detailed
information, please tell us which XferMethod and which ShareName(s) you are
using. Have you perhaps got proc mounted more than once?

Holger
