If this did what you think it does :-), then you would effectively have nothing backupped from /tmp, so why bother running dirvish for that at all? (as already suggested) That aside: This will only exclude dot files from tmp SUBdirectories, not from /tmp itself. Remember that exclude rules are applied to the root of the transfer, not the root of the filesystem. Hence only dot files in e.g. /tmp/tmp/ will be excluded (as well as all other files; dot is not special as far as dirvish (or actually: rsync) is concerned, so the tmp/* rule includes files that would be matched by tmp/.* ).
