Thanks Adam, I changed my config to the following:

$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
  '/srv'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '/srv' => [
    'www/vhosts/2Burn',
    'www/vhosts/preview*',
    'www/vhosts/www*',
    'www/vhosts/adrdb*',
    'www/vhosts/db_dumps_for_backup'
  ]
};
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = 'dev4';
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host
$rsyncPath $argList+';

But when check to see what's running, this is what I see happening:

dev4:~$ ps aux | grep rsync
root     25272  8.0  0.0  15472  2404 ?        Ds   16:46   0:00
/usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group
-D --links --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive
--one-file-system --no-compress --ignore-times . /srv/
