For a start, you've got all your backslashes/forward slashes mixed up.
They should always be "/" to indicate subdirectories.
Also because you're share is at root level already, top level folders
don't need a slash behind them. Remember too that a "\" is a special
character under Unix meaning treat the next character as a literal string.
The process is being confused by this mixing of strings and characters.
Thus you should be setting the exclude directive something like this....
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['RECYCLER', 'System
Volume Information', 'pagefile.sys',
'Temp', 'Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files',
'Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temp' ];
Hope that helps.
p.s. double check any system wide BackupFilesExclude directives in your
global config.pl also.
