Description of my issue:
I want to exclude .svn folders from backup. When I try to add a rule from the recipe like "#/.svn$#" I get this error in a modal window: "An error occurred - An error occurred while applying the filter for """
I’ve test to add the rule with Safari 6.0.2 (8536.26.17) and Chrome 23.0.1271.64

I believe your rule should be
#.svn$#
If you still get an error, please check with your host if they have mod_security2 or mod_evasive installed on their Apache server. If so, have them check if their rules would block this kind of regular expression, confusing it with a hack attack (yes, it has happened again)

With #.svn$# as rule, it works.
Thanks,
