there is. Ie this works

        egrep "/home/.*/[^Pictures]" pathlist.file

the only problem is it would also _not_ match /home/user/iPctures because of 
the nature of []... I have not tried this with bregex because I prefer your 
solution below.

this does the trick. Thanks a lot.

not that I can see. The wild = "/home/*/*" directive also seems to 
match "/home/*" for a reason that I do not quite understand.

Adding wilddir = "/home/*" to the include block selects all dirs directly 
in /home, which indicates that everything was selected by the File = /home 
directive... also removing the exclude block selects everything (both tested 
with estimate).

So "/home/*" must be dropped in the "/home/*/*" match IMHO.
