If you use '/' as the key, then these excludes only apply to machines  
where you backup / (which may be all of your machines). Using '*'  
means: use these excludes for all machines that don't have any  
explicit excludes attached to them, which would have the same effect  
if you backup / on all your machines.

We use the following with rsync over SSH and it works just fine:

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
   '*' => [
     '/proc',
     '/var/named/run-root/proc',
     '/sys',
     '/mnt'
   ]
};
