Excluding host in hostgroups.cfg

[Derek Olsen]

   DJ.
  I dont know the underlying details but if you change

use_true_regexp_matching=1
 to
use_true_regexp_matching=0

  And try it again you'll find it works.    To use the wildcard notation 
you show in your examples

members         s_sv.*,s_ups.*,s_fw.*,s_rt.*

 you dont need to have use_true_regexp_matching enabled.    Anyhoo hope 
this helps out.
  Deet.
