fails to exclude remote folder

[anarcat]

Following up from #2, it seems there might be a problem with exclude patterns. It could be a documentation problem, it could be a problem with mddiff or it could be a problem between this keyboard and my chair as well. :)

On the remote server (marcos), I have a normal Maildir folder managed by Dovecot, which means there's stuff like Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} but also Maildir/.Sent and so on. But because that server was also a workstation once upon a time (don't ask), there is also a Maildir/Koumbit folder hierarchy in there, which was synchronized by OfflineIMAP with another mailserver. It's kind of a mess too:

[1022]anarcat@marcos:Maildir$ ls -d *Koumbit*
Koumbit/                      Koumbit.INBOX.Drupalorg/  Koumbit.INBOX.homelessnation/  Koumbit.INBOX.Queue/  Koumbit.INBOX.tech-coop/
Koumbit.INBOX.Archives/       Koumbit.INBOX.FACIL/      Koumbit.INBOX.Junk/            Koumbit.INBOX.RT/     Koumbit.INBOX.Templates/
Koumbit.INBOX.Archives.2012/  Koumbit.INBOX.feathers/   Koumbit.INBOX.ourprivacy/      Koumbit.INBOX.Sent/   Koumbit.INBOX.Trash/
[1023]anarcat@marcos:Maildir$ ls Koumbit
INBOX/                INBOX.Archives.2011/  INBOX.Archives.2014/  INBOX.FACIL/           INBOX.Junk/        INBOX.RT/         INBOX.Templates/
INBOX.Archives/       INBOX.Archives.2012/  INBOX.Drafts/         INBOX.feathers/        INBOX.ourprivacy/  INBOX.Sent/       INBOX.Trash/
INBOX.Archives.2010/  INBOX.Archives.2013/  INBOX.Drupalorg/      INBOX.homelessnation/  INBOX.Queue/       INBOX.tech-coop/

Probably some brain farting due to OfflineIMAP messing around. Anyways: I tried and I tried to ignore those folders, and nothing seemed to work. Here's the patterns I have in my config file:

EXCLUDE_LOCAL="Maildir/.notmuch/hooks/* Maildir/.notmuch/xapian/*"
EXCLUDE_REMOTE='Maildir/Koumbit Maildir/Koumbit* Maildir/Koumbit/* Maildir/Koumbit.INBOX.Archives/ Maildir/Koumbit.INBOX.Archives.2012/ Maildir/.notmuch/hooks/* Maildir/.notmuch/xapian/*'

Here is the error I'm getting:

Remote mailboxes translated to local and back:
   Maildir/Koumbit.INBOX.Archives/cur -> Maildir/Anarcat/Koumbit.INBOX.Archives/cur -> Maildir/.Koumbit.INBOX.Archives/cur
Failed round trip check: Maildir/Koumbit.INBOX.Archives/cur -> Maildir/.Koumbit.INBOX.Archives/cur
   echo Maildir/Koumbit.INBOX.Archives/cur | smd-translate -m oimap-dovecot -d RL default -> Maildir/Anarcat/Koumbit.INBOX.Archives/cur
   echo Maildir/Anarcat/Koumbit.INBOX.Archives/cur | smd-translate -m oimap-dovecot -d LR default -> Maildir/.Koumbit.INBOX.Archives/cur

Notice how smd warns about Maildir/Koumbit.INBOX.Archives even though it's explicitly listed in the exclude list? I would still have expected it to be picked up by Maildir/Koumbit* but it seems that even listing it directly doesn't work.

Am I doing something wrong?

PS: I heard you regarding the test suite, but I figured I would file a proper bug report and see if I was doing something obviously wrong before starting to mess around with the test suite..

Thanks!

Oh, and it also seems strange that the translation layers fails in that way: it's nice because it allowed me to notice the problem, but I don't think it should fail at doing that round trip check either...
