I might be wrong.... but I think might be able to do this (using your
existing file)
cd /home; rdiff-backup --include-globbing-filelist /tmp/list.txt
--exclude /home /home /backup
If that doesn't work then this probably will...
Change each line in list.txt to include the full path, then....
rdiff-backup --include-globbing-filelist /tmp/list.txt --exclude /home
/home /backup
