You are confusing [^] with ^
^test-mode matches from the beginning of the line. [^1234] matches a character other than 1234.

I am not aware of a general purpose "not" for regular expressions. As a rule, regular expressions try to match something, not "not match" something.
Isn't it true that rcsinfo only picks the first line that matches? I think I remember something like that, but can't find it explicitly in the manual now.
If so, you could create a filter like:
what_I_want_to filter /dev/null Everything_not_filtered my_rcsinfo_template
In your case:
test-module /dev/null DEFAULT /home/cvs/2.5/CVSROOT/bugz.txt

hi, how does one specify, in the common syntax, the exclusion of a file? For example, I want to apply a script called bugz.txt to ALL commits except modules listed at the bottom of rcsinfo. i have this regular expression in rcsinfo that I thought tells cvs to apply bugz.txt to all modules that DO NO contain the string 'test-module' but it doesn't work:
what is the correct syntax for "not"? I thought the '^' character was proper regexese.
