After further investigation, I believe my file exclusions are not working in backuppc.  I checked some random machine transfer logs and I see lots of entries for /WINDOWS/... 
 In my config.pl this (and other) directories should be exuded.   I am using SMB to do backups (xp machines mostly):

Do I need anything besides this:  ?

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '*' => [
    '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/',
    '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temp/',
    '/Documents and Settings/*/NTUSER.DAT',
    '/Documents and Settings/*/ntuser.dat.LOG',
    '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application Data/Microsoft/Windows/UsrClass.dat',
    '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application Data/Microsoft/Windows/UsrClass.dat.LOG',
    '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*/Cache/',
    '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*/OfflineCache/',
    '/Documents and Settings/*/Recent/',
    '*.lock',
    'Thumbs.db',
    'IconCache.db',
    'Cache',
    'cache',
    '/WINDOWS/',
    '/RECYCLER/',
    '/MSOCache/',
    '/System Volume Information/',
    '/AUTOEXEC.BAT',
    '/BOOTSECT.BAK',
    '/CONFIG.SYS',
    '/hiberfil.sys',
    '/pagefile.sys',
    '/WINNT/'
  ]
};
