I tried it with double quotes, and I'm still seeing wget download files in 
the .backup directories. I've also tried escaping the "." with a "\" but 
that doesn't seem to work either. :( So, so far these don't work for me:

--exclude-directories='*.backup*'
--exclude-directories="*.backup*"
--exclude-directories="*\.backup*"

I've also tried this on my linux box running v1.9.1 as well. Same results. 
Any other ideas?

Thanks a lot for your tips, and quick reply!
