I edited the .pl and then looked at how the GUI displayed it and was more than
a little surprised to see that I needed to repeat the share name in the
exclusion and then add the specific structure as I figured that was the only
thing the exclusion COULD be relative to. All works as expected now (other than
some speed ups I need to look at).
Much Thanx!

You need to pass "share name" as KEY to exclude settings. And add unwanted
elements within that KEY.
See details and examples in built-in docs or here
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/BackupPC-4.1.3.html#_conf_backupfilesexclude_
it is not correct syntax, but the idea:
share name: /home/dave
exclude files: "/home/dave" => [data]
