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).
