(Get the code!)
~/.cache is secretly excluded by default. And my general answer for these sorts of things is that apps should be putting their cache files in ~/.cache as the XDG spec suggests.
This is a problem for all similar backup apps as well as any other app that cares about what a cache file is. So I'd rather not patch it just in deja-dup.
I've added some popular folders that are unlikely to get fixed soon (like the flash plugin's cache folder), but I don't want to play whack-a-mole.
