I presume you are trying to include just /folder1 and /folder2
on the D$ share, right?

If you are using the CGI interface it can be a bit confusing.
For $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} the "key" should be D$ and the
values should be the paths (relative to the share).

The actual setting in the config.pl file should look like this:

    $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
       'D$' => ['/folder1', '/folder2'],
    }

Please tell us the relevant config settings you have, and also
include the first few lines of the XferLOG file so we can see
exactly what command is being run.
