Correct, Ryan.

Mark nailed it. Subversion can only ignore patterns set on the current
directory. Or, it doesn't traverse into subdirectories looking for files to
ignore, even if you specify a pattern with a directory separator in it...
even if it seems totally logical that it should, and even though it accepts
an ignore pattern with a directory separator in it.
