Hi Mark,

I, too, have been having problems with exclude. See the (long) thread
titled "Syntax for excluding .gvfs". 

What I discovered is that if you use the wildcard, *, it must be quoted
otherwise all the excludes are ignored so 'raid1/*/tilecache' should be
'raid1/"*"/tilecache'.

Also, though I'm not 100% sure about this, 

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
    '*' => [
...

should be 

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
    '/raid1' => [
...

HTH
