Found it. And it has NOTHING to do with my config - and EVERYTHING to do with where the config is.
OLD VERSION:: in the per-PC configuration file, //var/lib/BackupPC//pc/$host/config.pl.
NEW VERSION:: __CONFDIR__/pc/HOST.pl per-pc config file
but in the new version it is pc/ lamp.pl
I found this out by essentially trying to force my config to be used by hard coding my shares into the $Conf{RsyncClientCmd} and having the dump command not change. I messed around some more and found out it was ignoring my client level config entirely. I could only make it do my bidding by changing the master config ... eventually I found the problem.
Thanks for talking to me!

You are correct I killed it very quickly. Because in the
previous version, the dump command would show the actual shares
I wanted on the command line { and not / } and I would not get
any messages like
Remote[2]: file has vanished: "/proc/2/exe"
which indicates it is *really* looking at / and not only
at the mounts I want.
You said:
During this time, the target
"lamp" is looking at every file on the disk, once finished,
it will send the list across.
Really it looks at the whole disk when I don't want to backup
the whole disk?
Is it going to send the whole list across?
Has this changed in this version then? Because I can run dump
on my old version and it does not do that.
If that is not what you want, then you should change the configuration.
If you only wish to backup /home/foo and /home/bar you have two
options:
1) Setup the shares as /home/foo and /home/bar instead of /
2) Setup the share as /home and use the include or exclude option
as needed.
If you only need those two directories, then I would just use two
shares to back them up. This also means you would probably not
need the one-file-system option as you are unlikely to mount other
FS under these directories, but I would use it anyway just in
case.
FWIW boxes on same lan, no firewall, lamp just has one disk
with everything in /
OK, so the main thing that was not clear is that you cancelled
immediately because it didn't do what you wanted, I assumed it had
"hung". See above for the solution.
