Describe the bug
I have configured timeshift to back up my system and my home directory (only .*).
I added a folder inside my home directory to be excluded, but timeshit is still including it.

timeshift config file

{
  "backup_device_uuid" : "fd68b5b3-b6f9-4d50-8b73-1e5acc2a42be",
  "parent_device_uuid" : "",
  "do_first_run" : "false",
  "btrfs_mode" : "false",
  "include_btrfs_home_for_backup" : "false",
