I think your custom rule in vhost context exists later than the target rule.

ModSecurity *have to* know the exclusions before the rule activated.

try to write a chained rule to the global exclusions list:

SecRule REMOTE_HOST "www\.yourhost\.com" \
    "phase:2,nolog,pass,id:10001,chain"
    SecRule ... like above without phase, pass and id
