Synchronization does not exclude the directory it should exclude

I am attaching a log that is self-explanatory. I am trying to do a synchronization local->remote so that the directory "voices" is excluded from the sync. As you can see in the log I have it in the filemask argument yet the tool still synchronizes this directory. It should not according to the documentation. Where is the problem, please?

Directory masks have to end with a slash:

Thanks but I tried that way too and it did not work either. I am on Windows as is apparent from the log file. I am sending another log file with the same problem using the corrected option like you suggested. It still does not work as you can see from the log.

I also tested with backslashes, did not work either.

I am not sure whether my reply in this thread will be seen by anybody or should I repost the topic once more as a whole? Not sure. Thanks for your first answer though, just wondering how to do it.

If you use an absolute path, it has to be a full path (and in the case of the synchronization, a full path to both local and remote directories). If you want relative, it has to start with a star:
See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/file_mask#path
Or in this case, it's the same as if you name the directory only:
