I haven't tried this on 5.x, only on csko's patched 6.x version, but here's the problem and I'm not sure if this is by design or a bug:
I first added "path*", and it didn't block a node with "path". Then I changed the setting to "path", and it worked.

crookednumber commentedThanks! This seems to work in the just-released D6 version.
I'm assuming this is due to the fact that it uses the D6+ function drupal_match_path: http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_match_path/6
I'll investigate back-porting this to the D5 release.

crookednumber commentedThis is now fixed in 5 as well with the release of 5.x-1.2 (stole the drupal_path_match function from drupal 6 +)
