BackupFilesExclude only understands one special key, '*', for all shares
not matched by any other key in the configuration.

Maybe you can adapt the $Conf{TarClientCmd} to have the exclude list
defined on the client, I use

$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -n -l root $host'
                    . ' env LC_ALL=C $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName+'
                    . ' -X $shareName+/.backuppc.excludes'
                    . ' --totals';

for some hosts where there's the need for client-side exclude lists,
adding empty .backuppc.excludes files for shares without exclusions.

Cheers
Wolfgang

PS: I guess the mention in the GNU tar manual about * being greedy even
when encountering a / is "Periods (`.') or forward slashes (`/') are not
considered special for wildcard matches."
