I've used the GUI to specify that only files in my home folder are backed up 
(excluding the ~/.Private folder since that contains only encrypted files.) 
This results in the following entry in the client-specific *.pl file:

$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
  '/home/michael/' => [
    ''
  ]
};
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '/home/michael/.Private/' => [
    ''
  ]
};

However, it is backing up everything from my root directory:
 
$ sudo ls -aFl  /media/data/backuppc/pc/michael-ubuntu/new/f%2f/
total 40
drwxr-x---   8 backuppc backuppc  4096 2011-01-17 17:15 ./
drwxr-x---   3 backuppc backuppc  4096 2011-01-17 16:57 ../
drwxr-x---   2 backuppc backuppc  4096 2011-01-17 16:57 fbin/
drwxr-x---   3 backuppc backuppc  4096 2011-01-17 16:57 fboot/
drwxr-x---   2 backuppc backuppc  4096 2011-01-17 16:57 fcdrom/
drwxr-x---  19 backuppc backuppc  4096 2011-01-17 17:15 fdev/
drwxr-x--- 145 backuppc backuppc 12288 2011-01-17 17:15 fetc/
drwxr-x---   3 backuppc backuppc  4096 2011-01-17 17:15 fhome/

It's also backing up everything in my ~/.Private directory. This doesn't seem 
to be expected behavior. Any ideas what's up?
