I think you need to split the Options clauses differently.

Bacula scans them in order and accepts/rejects as soon as one matches, so your
first clause matches only the directories whose name begins with "s"
(including st123) and the second clause rejects everything else.

Something like this will work:

FileSet {
   Name = "home_s"
   Include {
     Options {
       exclude = yes
       wilddir = "/mnt/home/st123"
     }
     Options {
       wild = "/mnt/home/s*"
       compression = GZIP4
       sparse = yes
       noatime = yes
     }
     Options {
       exclude = yes
       RegexDir = ".*"
     }
     File = /mnt/home
   }
}
