These 2 filesets give exactly the same estimate:


Fileset {
   Name = "Filme-abce"
   Include {
     File = "/data/multimedia/Filme"
     Options {
       WildDir = "/data/multimedia/Filme/a*"
       WildDir = "/data/multimedia/Filme/b*"
       WildDir = "/data/multimedia/Filme/c*"
       WildDir = "/data/multimedia/Filme/e*"
     }
     Options {
       Exclude = "Yes"
       RegexDir = ".*"
     }
   }
}
Fileset {
   Name = "Filme-d"
   Include {
     File = "/data/multimedia/Filme"
     Options {
       WildDir = "/data/multimedia/Filme/d*"
     }
     Options {
       Exclude = "Yes"
       RegexDir = ".*"
     }
   }
}

why? Where's my mistake?
