You probably also need some real excludes, otherwise these won't have
any effect (everything is included by default).

Presumably something like:

exclude:
        + /etc/
        + /etc/**
        + /backup/
        + /backup/dirvish/
        + /backup/dirvish/*/
        + /backup/dirvish/*/dirvish/
        + /backup/dirvish/*/dirvish/**
	- /backup/dirvish/*/*
	- /backup/*
	- /*

Rules are evaluated in order. You might even need a "+ /" at the top.
