[rdiff-backup-users] Filename with special character

[me]

Hi all,

Rdiff-backup : 1.2.8
OS : Ubuntu 12.04 LTS X64
Pyhton : 2.7
Installed from Ubuntu Package
I have troubles find the good syntax to write filenames with special 
characters in rdiff-backup command
(I searched the archives).

Here is an example :
rdiff-backup --exclude "/media/guillaume/archives/$RECYCLE.BIN" 
/media/guillaume/archives /home/serveur/backup/guillaume/archives

I'm geetings errors like :
Exception '[Errno 1] Operation not permitted: 
'/home/serveur/backup/guillaume/archives/$RECYCLE.BIN'' raised of class 
'<type 'exceptions.OSError'>':
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rdiff_backup/Main.py", line
