Hi,
I have the same issue (on a windows 2008 R2 SP1)
I want to  do a backup from my automation (a simple batch .cmd)
I'm doing this command:
C:\Users\Administrator>wbadmin start backup -backuptarget:s:\backup -exclude:s: -allCritical -include:C:,R: -quiet
wbadmin 1.0 - Backup command-line tool
(C) Copyright 2004 Microsoft Corp.
Retrieving volume information...
This will back up volume System Reserved (100.00 MB),New Volume(R:),DISK_S(S:) (Selected Files),Local Disk(C:) to s:\backup.
ERROR - The specified backup location could not be found or is not a supported backup storage location.
The only way to get this working, is working via UNC to the local drive S-drive 
C:\Users\Administrator>wbadmin start backup -backuptarget:\\myserver\s$\backup -exclude:s: -allCritical -include:C:,R: -quiet
However, the backup succeeds with these warnings:
Retrieving volume information...
This will back up volume System Reserved (100.00 MB),New Volume(R:),DISK_S(S:) (Selected Files),Local Disk(C:) to
\\myserver\s$\backup
and giving a warning
The backup of volume DISK_S(S:) could not be completed. Error: The requested operation could not be completed due to a file system limitation
The backup operation completed with errors.
Looks like the wbadmin does not read the -exclude option?
