 Have you tried a wildfile statement?

 Include {
        Options {
                Wildfile = "/tmp/*"
                Exclude = yes
        }
        File = /
 }

 From my understanding of the options, during back-up of root that should 
exclude all files within /tmp (/), but include the /tmp directory itself.
