The Wildcard doesn't seem to work

I manage a small site with 4 user groeps (anonymous, admin, authenticated and members).
After upgrading to the newest drupal version node-privacy byrole didn't work anymore
so I installed path acces.

I first tested the wildcards on a computer at university, where they seemede to work.
the path ?q=members was no longer available for auth. en anonym. users. and neither were the subpaths.
But when I got home to days later I tried this again to be sure and now even anonymous users can see the members pages.

1) If I use NO wildcards then the path members is CLOSED for anonym and auth, and the subpaths are OPEN to them.
2) If I DO use wildcards then both the path members and the subpaths are OPEN.

Can anyone help me out on this one?

greetings.
