The excludes are relative to the share name.
So you probably want this:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/home/pierre' => [
'/download',
'/tmp',
'/OperaDownloads',
'/.cddb',
'/.swp',
'/.fonts',
'/.opera',
'/.mozilla',
'/.thumbnails',
'/.xsession-errors'
]
};
I'm not sure the leading '/' is right for rsync, but if it
doesn't work then try a leading './' or omit it altogether.
