don't know what you're doing wrong but it works for me with /*--exclude 
'/home/*/.cache' \*/
maybe a syntax problem?

borg -V
$ borg 1.0.7

* on the mounted backup
ll /mnt/provigo-borg/home/libes/.cache
ls: impossible d'accéder à '/mnt/provigo-borg/home/libes/.cache': Aucun 
fichier ou dossier de ce type

* on my disk
  ll ~libes/.cache/ -d
drwxr-xr-x 18 libes libes 4096 juin   7 12:32 /home/libes/.cache//

here is my syntax, with the absolute path

$BORG create \
      -v --stats \
      $COMPRESSION \
      $BORG_ARCHIVE \
      $REP_ASAUVEGARDER  \
/*     --exclude '/home/*/.cache' \*/
      >> ${LOG_PATH} 2>&1
