David, The regex that you used "^.*$", in addition to files beginning with "." is also picking up the current directory ".", hence you're backing up all files in the directory. The regex that Kern suggested, "^.?*$" requires at least one character after the leading "." to avoid this. I know next to nothing about file exclusions, so this is just a guess, but you might try "^.?*" (without the trailing $).
