hmm ... I'm having some problems with smb-tar excludes, too (my first 
smb client because of never ending VISTA 64-bit related issues with 
DeltaCopy and/or cygwin-rsyncd) and I read on:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=Smb_exclude

Maybe I should try it your way then ... ;-)

I backup Windows Vista without a problem with Deltacopy. I mainly followed
one of the wiki pages to exclude the 'junction points'. There is more stuff
than necessary in the one I list below, but I can't find the Wiki pages
(what happened there?)

Ah, here is the link to the specific page for Vista
www.cs.umd.edu/~cdunne/projs/backuppc_guide.html

Also mind the {ClientCharset}.

Excludes for rsyncd.
