The excludes are relative to the share.  If you have
multiple shares, $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} should be
a hash with one entry per share.  Excluding /var/log
and /var/oldjoe makes no difference since those paths
aren't below the shares.

You should use something like this:

    $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
        '/var/lib' => ['/backuppc', '/backuppc.off'],
    }
