See the examples in the docs: 
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#item__conf_backupfilesexclude_

Since you're using rsync shares, you have to specify the share name  
and a dir relative to the share, so I guess it should be:

----
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
     '/home/userX/BackupTest' => ['/IgnoreThisDir'],
};
----
