Do you realize that this is specifying a file whose name starts with 4
spaces and contains a '#' character in it?  If you want to put comments
into your include/exclude file, they must occupy the whole line and the
comment character (either '#' or ';') must come in the very first column
of the file, like this:

# Include /Databases & subfolders
+ /Databases/

However, I'd reserve comments for things that don't have such an obvious
meaning.
