Setting properties recursively

Hi,

I started using Subversion just about a month ago and I'm very happy
with it so far.

FYI. The context of the following message is:
Server: Red Hat Linux 9, Apache 2.0.48, Subversion 0.34
Client: MS Windows 2000 Professional, Subversion client 0.34

There is one thing that I'm wondering about. A couple of weeks ago a
decided to set svn:keywords on all my java files and if my memory
doesn't play tricks with me I did that using something like

svn propset svn:keywords -R "Author Rev Date" *.java

and my Java files were updated (NOTE this is IF and only IF my memory
works as expected). That was with version 0.33.1 (or *MAYBE* 0.32.1).

Now I am trying to do the same thing again, however this time I get an
error message if I try to do this in a directory where there are no
*.java files

====
svn: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
svn: check_path: problem checking path "*.java"
====

If I run the command in a directory where there are *.java files I get this

====
property 'svn:keywords' set (recursively) on 'BitInputStream.java'
property 'svn:keywords' set (recursively) on 'BitOutputStream.java'
property 'svn:keywords' set (recursively) on 'ParseException.java'
====

BUT directories below are unaffected, the only files touched are the
ones in the current directory.

So, what's happening? I tried searching the issue tracker but could not
find this issue in there... and before adding it I wanted to check this
list first.

Any comments or ideas?

Best regards
