[p4] P4IGNORE working but not?

Posted on behalf of forum user 'Tsaukpaetra'.

So I'm having quite a conundrum using .p4ignore files. Previously on Windows
I had a .p4ignore file like so for Jenkins:

build.xml fingerprints/   
So, one file and one folder. This worked fine, people couldn't add any file
named build.xml, and anything in the fingerprints folder couldn't be added
either.

Switching to FreeBSD (due to complications with things), Jenkins is up and
running and I sync down all the files.

Checking the .p4ignore file, I indeed cannot add build.xml files, but I  can 
add stuff in the fingerprints folder!

root@bobthebuilder:/usr/local/jenkins # p4 -p perforce:1666 -c jenkins-config
add jobs/testJob/1/build.xml //depot/Jenkins/jobs/Per-Commit
builds/jobs/testJob/1/build.xml#1 - opened for add
/usr/local/jenkins/jobs/Per-Commit builds/jobs/testJob/1/build.xml - ignored
file can't be added. root@bobthebuilder:/usr/local/jenkins # p4 -p
perforce:1666 -c jenkins-config add
fingerprints/ed/67/51df02fe57e33252403aa35ec215.xml
//depot/Jenkins/fingerprints/ed/67/51df02fe57e33252403aa35ec215.xml#1 -
currently opened for add   
According to  p4 ignores , it rightly *should* be ignored:

root@bobthebuilder:/usr/local/jenkins # p4 -p purrforce:1666 -c jenkins-config
ignores -i -v fingerprints/ed/67/51df02fe57e33252403aa35ec215.xml
/usr/local/jenkins/fingerprints/ed/67/51df02fe57e33252403aa35ec215.xml ignored
by /usr/local/jenkins/.p4ignore:2:fingerprints/   
So... any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?
