Description of problem:
-x exclude options in lftp's mirror subcommand seem to match more loosly than
would be expected.  Using lftp to mirror redhat's updates
(ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/) the -x option matched too loosely and
cause some packages to be missed during the mirror.  I had -x .nfs* as one of my
exclude options and it cause at least 7 files to be skipped as a result.

(* is used below to omit version numbers not be inclusive of packages)
The packages skipped were:
printconf-*src.rpm
redhat-config-network-*-src.rpm
Xconfigurator*.i386.rpm
nfs-utils-*.i386.rpm
printconf-*.i386.rpm
printconf-gui.i386.rpm
xemacs-info-*.i386.rpm
printconf-*.ia64.rpm
printconf-gui-*.ia64.rpm
redhat-config-network-*.noarch.rpm

lftp script is as follows:
/usr/bin/lftp <<CONF
open ftp.redhat.com
lcd /app/mirrors/redhat/7.2/updates/os
cd /pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.2/en/os
mirror -e -x .nfs*
CONF

I found this problem with lftp on a 6.2 box, but it was verified by someone else
on a 7.2 box as well.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create appropriate directories referenced in above script
2. create and run the above shell script
3. check for existance of the above listed packages (Xconfigurator, etc)
	


Actual Results:  it will mirror 90% of the data there, but it will leave out the
listed packages and possible others.

Expected Results:  should have mirrored all the packages in that directory
including the listed ones.

Additional info:

lftp version: 2.1.5

it appears that it's match is too loose, like it's matching the n or the f or s.
 Or something similar.

it is worked around by quoting the arguement to the mirror comamnd
...
mirror -e -x '.nfs*'
