Mine look like this:

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '*' => [
    '/pagefile.sys',
    '/Downloads',
    '/Documents and Settings/*/Cookies',
    '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files',
    '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temp',
....
  ]
};

Of course, I think smb will accept a couple of different formats, so
yours may be valid as well.

I assume, based on your exclusion, that you have defined your share like
this:

$Conf{SmbShareName} = [
  'C$'
];

If the share is called anything other than 'C$', your exclusion will not
work.

And since you mentioned includes, I will point out once again that if
you define "BackupFilesOnly" for this share, then  your exclusions will
be ignored.  You can have one or the other, but not both on an smb share.

If you still can't figure it out, post the entire config file for that
host so we can see exactly how everything is defined.
