I'm completely guessing here, but doesn't the exclude syntax use a
"share name" and "what to exclude" as separate arguments? If you
wanted to globally exclude .gvfs from all backups wouldn't you use
something like "*" as the share name (all shares) and "/home/*/.gvfs"
as the file/directory to exclude?
