When all else fails, try em' all! I don't know which part fixed it but this
ended up working:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'\\backup\\*' => [
''
],
'/backup/*' => [
''
],
'*' => [
'\\backup\\*',
'/backup/*'
]
};

In playing around with excludes a while back, I found it depends on what
the transfer method is. For smb, the backslash works for excludes. For
rsync, the forward slash.
