Using patterns in incoming.conf for exclusion?

I was wondering if anyone was using the "patterns" directive in 
incoming.conf to limit newsgroups accepted by remote peers?  I've got a 
need to exclude *.sex.* and *.sex newsgroups.  While I'm working with my 
peers to exclude these on their end I found that the patterns directive 
in incoming.conf should be able to do this as well.

I've got the following configured in incoming.conf:

peer neva.ru {
         hostname:            newsfeed.neva.ru
         patterns: "*,!*.sex.*,!*.sex"
}

However, I'm still seeing articles coming in from that peer that match 
the exclude pattern.  Can you not use exclusions with the patterns key 
in incoming.conf?
