Do you mean this?
	 --fs-root "/pool" --prune "movie/[B-Zb-z]*"

I don't follow you, isn't it what you expected: 'saving all dirs
beginning with "A*" '?

note: that you may find regex more adapted to your need (see -ar option)

independently from regex, you might consider the ordered mask (-am
option) which would give you more intuitive filters:

- --fs-root /pool -am --go-into movie --prune "movie/[B-Zb-z]*"

this whill include only /pool/movie directory except sub-entries of
/pool/movie beginning by A or a (assuming all entries starts by a letter
)

one step further, the -an option makes the following filters on
command  line case insensitive filters (see also -acase option):

- --fs-root /pool -am --go-into movie -an --prune "movie/[b-z]*"
