I don't know what platform your backups are running on (client), but I 
would suggest putting a backslash "\" in front of the '.' in your regex, 
like this:

home-remco
{
Path = /home/remco
ExcludeDirsRegex = ^[\.]+*
ExcludeFilesRegex = ^[\.]+*
AlwaysIncludeDir = .gnupg
}

If nothing else, it can't hurt...

Hope it helps.

Thanks,
