Because that's exactly what you told it to do.  The leading '/' anchors
the exclusion to the root.

Try this:

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '*' => [
    '.AppleDB',
    '/.AppleDesktop',
    '/.AppleDouble',
    '/Temporary Items',
    '*.bak'
  ]
};

This will have the side-effect of also excluding any normal files named
'.AppleDB', which may or may not be a problem for you.
