Ok, getting a little closer... I changed the configuration to:

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '*' => [
    '/home/*/.cache',
    ''
  ]
};

And ran the dump from the command line and got:

--exclude=/home/\*/.cache --exclude= <host>:/home/<user>/

It seemed to generate two excludes but the second one seems to be malformed
with the space after the = and I'm not sure it's even needed...

Thanks,
Richard
