First: don't forget that the dot in a regex can match any character. Then (I'm 
too lazy to read the docs wrt that matter) you have to know whether the 
regexes to be used apply only in part or as a whole to the directory you mean 
to get excluded - also, whether it is or not relative to the root of the 
filesystem.

Can you try this:

([^/]+/)+/anon_ftp

and see if this works?

Also, you say that this doesn't seem to work. In what sense? Does it exclude 
too much, not enough? Are you sure that the four last chars before anon_ftp 
can never be anything other than letters?
