If you are instructing rdiff-backup to backup c:\. then your
include/exclude list should also be based on that directory. So I guess
you should be consistent and change it to c:\.\dir1 if you want this
workaround to ehm.. work ;-)
By the way, did you try "c:" or "c:\.\" as source paths?
Or, change the current working directory to c:\ and run rdiff-backup with
"." as source path.
