Just a guess, but I'm thinking that this may be due to the trailing '/' 
in your 'wild' entries.  I know that for my systems, when I exclude 
(with "Ignore Case"), I'm able to exclude both files and directories 
appropriately with wild, but I never put trailing '/' in the directory 
names.  Also, just to check I ran a simple test using 'bwild' (a tool I 
was not previously aware of) and that suggested that the trailing '/' 
might be a problem (unclear since bwild doesn't actually look at 
filesystems, instead it takes filenames in a file).
