Correct. Check "man mtree" for the -X option:

	If the pattern contains a `/' character, it will be
	matched against entire pathnames (relative to the
	starting directory); otherwise, it will be matched
	against basenames only.

Also see "man 3 fnmatch" which discusses the specific
interpretation of "/" and "*" which applies to the
exclude list.
