I copied these from my config file which is edited through the web
interface. So the web interface has a bug

Neither! This really confused me for ages. The share needs to be in
the
first section, and the exclude within the square brackets so 
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '/' => [
    '/proc'
  ]
};

As for the ./ or /, I always get there by trial and error if it is not

clear from the help files.

If you are using the web interface, the share name should be in the
'New Key' 
and then you 'add' the exclude arguments.
