What is your rdiff-backup command line and what are the contents of your 
exclude file?
Like any tool that uses include/exclude files (and in this case even 
globbing include/excludes) the devil may very well be in the details. 
Things like prefixed or suffixed slashes may not have the desired effect, 
especially when compared to rsync.
