you will want/need "Ignore FileSet Changes = yes" if you intend to do
differential or incremental backups.

if you have GNU find, try

   "\\|find /space/ -name backup -o -name log -printf '%l\\n'"

(the bash -c "" is superfluous here since you're not using quoting or
pipes in your command.)

%l (small L) expands to what the symlink points to.  if you don't have
GNU find, use sed to add the trailing "/.", something like

   "\\|sh -c \"find /space/ -name backup -o -name log | sed s,$,/.,\""

note that the sed solution will also handle the case where /space/log
points to another symlink.
