I found the solution:
The directory separator character limits the scope of the search for the
matching n characters and directories. If a pattern does not begin with a
directory separator (or one does not follow the drive specification), a
match all directories is appended to the pattern. For example, these
patterns are equivalent: 
   c:*
   c:\...\*

Sincerly,

Mike,

I wouldn't do it that way.  A search on my laptop shows some NIF and NTF
extensions.  There may be others on a server.  Instead, use

exclude *.nsf
exclude *.ntf
