It's set to : 

$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {}; 

My file count / reuse summary is basically not changed (which I would expect 
some numbers to drop) in the web admin for the machine's latest backup. 

In the latest xfer log for this morning, just a SMALL sampling:

from backup]: 
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: ?

err, beside the question mark? 

You need to not have set BackupFilesOnly. What does your log file say?
