sounds to me that it's doing exactly what you told it to... match any folder that begins with an "IN.", followed by 5 chars that are not (in order) "b" "a" "c" "k" "1" - and you're right - since "test" is only 4 characters, it doesn't match the "not 1" section. I think you might be better off making a general folder hook (that will match back1 as well), then adding another folder hook (after? before?) that will deal with the special case.
