exclude not excluding?

Hi all, my hdup runs do not seem to be excluding the directories I ask
it to, and this causes my backups to be much too large and fail. My
hdup.conf looks somewhat like this:

--- hdup.conf ---
[global]
date spec      = american
tar            = /bin/tar
user           = operator
group          = operator
compression    = gzip
exclude        = /proc /backup /dev /tmp
overwrite      = true
skip           = true
force          = true
one filesystem = true

[apollo-root]
exclude        = /proc /backup /dev /tmp /boot /home/gfowler /mnt
archive dir    = /backup/root
dir            = /
prerun         = /bin/mount -t ext3 /dev/hde3 /backup/root
postrun        = /bin/umount /dev/hde3

[apollo-boot]
archive dir    = /backup/boot
dir            = /boot
prerun         = /bin/mount -t ext3 /dev/hde1 /backup/boot
postrun        = /bin/umount /dev/hde1
--- hdup.conf ---

I also noticed an 'excludelist' file in /backup/root/apollo-root/etc.
It seems to have all the directories I want...

[tfogal@apollo etc]# cat excludelist 
/proc /backup /dev /tmp /boot /home/gfowler /mnt
/backup/root/
[tfogal@apollo etc]# wc -l excludelist 
      2 excludelist

Any ideas as to whats going on?

TIA,
