Which Unison version are you using? The Unison manual has the
following to say about ignorenot:
"Note that the semantics of ignore and ignorenot is a little
counter-intuitive. When detecting updates, Unison examines paths
in depth-first order, starting from the roots of the replicas and
working downwards. Before examining each path, it checks whether
it matches ignore and does not match ignorenot; in this case it
skips this path and all its descendants. This means that, if some
parent of a given path matches an ignore pattern, then it will be
skipped even if the path itself matches an ignorenot pattern. In
particular, putting ignore = Path * in your profile and then using
t ignorenot to select particular paths to be synchronized will not
work. Instead, you should use the path preference to choose
particular paths to synchronize."

In your case apparently .kde is ignored because its path matches an
ignore criterion. Then it doesn't matter even if some descendent of
.kde matches a ignorenot criterion.
A solution is to edit your ignore patterns to keep .kde safe. (Use
regexp maybe?)
