I'm completely guessing here, but doesn't the exclude syntax use a "share name" and "what to exclude" as separate arguments? If you wanted to globally exclude .gvfs from all backups wouldn't you use something like "*" as the share name (all shares) and "/home/*/.gvfs" as the file/directory to exclude?
