Have you check the access from root at the dirvish-pc to the pc from which the 
backup shoud be made? 
see: 
http://edseek.com/~jasonb/articles/dirvish_backup/transport.html#transportssh

Maybe, did you change the standard ssh Port? 
So you have to add to your default.conf
<<
rsh:    ssh -p xxx
client: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
>>
xx for your port

Make sure that both pc's have rsync installed.

If nothing of this helps you, you can try to run the command manually !without 
the exclude part! Because the exclude-file is made while drivish runs and only 
exist while dirvish run.

Maybe i can help you better when you post a more detailed error-report.
