Here is an example, which I think should work:

rdiff-backup.exe --remote-schema "plink.exe -ssh -i PRIVATE.PPK %%s 
rdiff-backup --server" --exclude "E:/winx/temp/my folder/a/b/**" 
"E:/winx/temp/my folder" address@hidden::/home/me/myfolder

This should backup the b folder but not its contents (and should backup 
everything else in 'my folder').
