svn:ignore Fails in Windows XP Pro

I have written about this numerous times and keep waiting for a fix in a
subsequent version. I can't believe that all Windows users aren't just
screaming about it.

It doesn't matter if I specify file/folder names to ignore in the Global
Ignore list or in the Project Properties window, SVN simply ignores my
ignore masks. This is EXTREMELY frustrating because I can't simply
click a folder and submit it - I have to manually inspect the list of
thousands of file and folder names to find the few that I truly do want
to submit.

I have tried countless revisions of my ignore mask pattern. Here's my
latest:

*.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.rej *.rej .*~ *~ .#* .DS_Store *.sqlsuo *.suo
[Rr]elease [Dd]ebug [Bb]in [Oo]bj [Bb]ackup *.dll *.pdb [Tt]humbs.db
*.ncb *.lib *.idb *.ilk *.msi *.res *.pch *.aps *.*~ *.~* ~*.*
-results.xml bin/*.xml *.xml /*.xml [Tt]emp *.log *.suo *.exe *.obj
*.log *.user *.data *.bak

According to the SVN help page 4.13, "If you want to ignore all CVS
folders, just add CVS to the ignore list. There is no need to specify
CVS */CVS as you did in earlier versions." But despite the mask above,
both SVN->Add and SVN->Commit still show every Debug, Release, Bin, Obj,
etc. folder. AAAARRRRRGGGGG!!!!!!

PLEASE! ALL I WANT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE IS FOR MY Subversion IGNORE
MASKS TO WORK!

Thank you,
