[EMBOSS] question about databank access methods

[Guy Bottu]

	Dear colleagues,

I am currently using EMBOSS version 2.8.0. The manual at 
http://www.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk/Software/EMBOSS/Doc/Admin_guide/
adminguide/node4.html#SECTION00421000000000000000
mentions for the databank access method "DIRECT"

DB mydb [ 
#required parameters
   method: "direct"
   format: "embl"
   type: "N"
   dir: "\$emboss_db_dir/mydb"
   file: "*.dat"   
#optional parameters
   fields: "sv des key org"
   release: "63.0"
   comment: "My own database with no indices"
   exclude: "est*.dat"
]

I tried the "exclude" parameter and it did not work. Do I miss something ?
Has someone already used it successfully ?
