The syntax in those files was created by the GUI, are they wrong?

It sure looks like it.  The GUI can be a bit inscrutable; I'd recommend
hand-editing one of your individual PC files to look like the syntax
below, then call it up in the GUI to see the difference.  It looks like
the excludes are where the shares should be.

From one of the failing clients (/etc/backuppc/failingclient.pl):

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {

'/pifisi' => [

'/proc' => [

'/home' => [

};

Here's evidence that the exclude override is not being sent:

This is what works on my system:

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {

 '*' => [

   '/tmp',

   '/net',

   '/sys',

   '/proc',

   '/dev',

   '/selinux',

   '/space',

   '/net'

 ]

};
