Start with the basics:  xferlog.  You'll want to review your excludes in 
two ways.  First, you'll want to confirm that they show up here:

<snip>
Sent exclude: Users/*/AppData/Local/Temp/*
<snip>

If you don't see that, or it's munged, the problem isn't the syntax or 
format of your exclusions, so much as your config file isn't expressing 
exclusions to rsync.  Once you do that, you should see (or perhaps fail 
to see) lower in the file, lines that correspond to the regular 
expression:

<snip>
create d 770    544/18           0 
Users/Administrator.Luffy/AppData/Local/Temp
<snip>

As you see from the above, this is NOT a match for the regex, but any 
files IN the directory would be.  This happens to be what we want, since 
on a recovery of the user, we probably want to recover the directory but 
we don't care about temp files.  We confirm below that no files within 
the directory are backed up.

If we selected a more restrictive exclude, such as ending at "Temp", we 
wouldn't expect this line to appear at all.
