You must escape the *, so that shell doesn't convert the command to: tar -cv --exclude /var/named/chroot/proc/1 /var/named/chroot/proc/2 ...
Use: tar -cv --exclude /var/named/chroot/proc/* -zf backup.tar.gz /var/named
Or just --exclude proc?

"It is almost *always* wrong to pass an unquoted wildcard to tar."
Try this:
tar -cv --exclude '/var/named/chroot/proc/*' -zf backup.tar.gz /var/named
Although I suspect that:
tar -cv --exclude /var/named/chroot/proc -zf backup.tar.gz /var/named
will also work.

Hello,
tar -cv --exclude '/var/named/chroot/proc/*' -zf backup.tar.gz /var/named
I think this is the best way to use wildcards in expressions to avoid problems. ;)
tar -cv --exclude /var/named/chroot/proc -zf backup.tar.gz /var/named
Yes, it works, but it didn't create the proc folder inside the tar folder tree. Example:
Original folder tree:
- var |- named |- chroot |- proc |- garbage1.txt |- garbage2.txt |- foo |- test1.txt |- test2.txt |- bar |- test3.txt |- test4.txt
# tar -cv --exclude '/var/named/chroot/proc/*' -zf backup.tar.gz /var/named
Will keep this structure at backup.tar.gz
- var |- named |- chroot |- proc |- foo |- test1.txt |- test2.txt |- bar |- test3.txt |- test4.txt
tar -cv --exclude /var/named/chroot/proc -zf backup.tar.gz /var/named
Will save this structure at backup.tar.gz
- var |- named |- chroot |- foo |- test1.txt |- test2.txt |- bar |- test3.txt |- test4.txt

Can't you use the --one-file-system option to prevent tar from descending into the proc folder?
