Ok. Sorry, I interpreted your statement about using Backup - user files to indicate that you'd actually used that particular script, not in reference to your own script that attempted to replicate the built-in one. (That's a good thing, since it would have been really, really weird otherwise.)
In any case, please do read the blurb about Smart Update in the WGTH? section and in the User's Guide -- had you accomplished what you had originally set out to do, you would have ended up with a Powerbook with only user files on it.
(Note, also, that as of v1.5.5, we've included a little script called "Exclude all files" that will do the ignore of * and .* for you. Just include it in the proper tab of the script editor.)
