The problem is that bacula finds the files by walking over the directory
structure, using the exclude options to prune the walk. In your example
above, it prunes /home/foo before it finds /home/foo/Documents.

You need to make it match /home/* as well. Something like this might work:
Options {
signature = MD5
compress = GZIP9
# include the Documents dirs themselves
wilddir = "/home/*/Documents"
# include everything in the Documents dirs
wild = "/home/*/Documents/*"
# include all dirs directly in /home so Documents dirs are reached
wilddir = "/home/*"
}
Options {
# exclude everything else in the dirs under /home
wild = "/home/*/*"
Exclude = yes
}
You could also do it with a File clause that finds the Documents dirs each
time, e.g.
File = "\\|ls -1d /home/*/Documents"
