If you are instructing rdiff-backup to backup c:\. then your include/exclude list should also be based on that directory. So I guess you should be consistent and change it to c:\.\dir1 if you want this workaround to ehm.. work ;-) By the way, did you try "c:" or "c:\.\" as source paths? Or, change the current working directory to c:\ and run rdiff-backup with "." as source path.
