I have had to implement a work around under Fedora 7. It all
surrounds getting 'BackupFilesExclude' to work using 'smb'
as the 'Xfermethod'. The main issue is that variable
substitution for the file list does not work.
Xfer.log output for a full backup:

Notice that the $ sign preceding $filelist gets escaped
preventing the list from being read.
Below is the machine config file:

$Conf{SmbClientFullCmd} = '$smbClientPath
\\\\$host\\$shareName -A $userName -E -d 1 -c tarmode\\ full
-TcX - $filelist';

$Conf{SmbClientRestoreCmd} = '$smbClientPath
\\\\$host\\$shareName -A $userName -E -d 1 -c tarmode\\ full
-Tx -';
$Conf{SmbShareName} = [
'C$'
];
$Conf{SmbShareUserName} = '/etc/BackupPC/ADMINISTRATOR';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'smb';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'*' => [
'filename\ with\ spaces',
'Recycled'
]
};
################################################################
Please note that on the incremental backup line that I have
listed all the exclude files individually following '-'. If
I substitute that list on the full backup line in my tests,
those files are excluded from the backup.
Now I don't know if this is a problem with the backuppc
script or whether it is a smbclient issue, I haven't tested
it on the command line. I know that in the past I was not
able to get variable substitution to work with smbclient for
the exclude list so that may point to the source of the issue.
I also don't know if regular expressions work for the file
lists or not on Fedora.
