Cannot backup Exchange database files
I am trying to do specific backups of our Exchange 2010 databases and having issues. We have 2 Exchange servers running in a DAG and are built as VMware virtual servers, hosted on VMware ESXi v5.1.0....

the EDB files are automatically excluded and do not get backed up.
Take a look here for Backing up VMware data http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO99371 and the Best Practices for Backup Exec 2014 Agent for Microsoft Exchange Server http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO74428

Since your Exchange servers are running in a DAG, you need to use the Exchange agent to backup your Exchange mailboxes. Backing up the individual Exchange server VM will not do. There is no GRT support for applications/databases which are spread over a couple of VM's, like Exchange in DAG.
