Personally, I make the following change instead:
$Conf{RsyncArgs} = [
            '--numeric-ids',
            '--perms',
            '--owner',
            '--group',
            '--devices',
            '--links',
            '--times',
            '--block-size=2048',
            '--recursive',
            '--checksum-seed=32761',
            '--one-file-system',
            '-D',
            '--bwlimit=64',
];

ie, remove the backupfilesexclude, and instead set rsyncargs, in
particular, the option that is useful here is "--one-file-system"
because any proc will always be a different filesystem. However, if you
have a number of different mountpoints (different drives) then you will
need to specify each mount point you need to backup in RsyncShareName.

You can copy the default rsyncargs from your config.pl and add the
modified version to your clienthost.pl or else just modify it in the
config.pl directly.

Adam
