Ah, I know what the problem is, the wwwoffle.conf file needs beefed up examples:
#### Example ####
# Don't get from any hosts in the barfoo.com domain.
# *://*.barfoo.com/ #1
# Don't get any gzipped or tar files.
# *://*/*.gz
# *://*/*.tar
# Don't get any files from /adverts in the foo.com domain.
# *://*.foo.com/adverts* #2
#1 and #2 need to be moved side by side, and explicit notice of the
sight differences you mention below should be given, as you gotta
admit, the way it is worded above makes one believe one will not be
bothered with any BarFoo corporation junk ever again, when indeed it
is merely their home page that is being blocked.

ab> *://*.amazon.com/ means http://www.amazon.com/ matches but

ab> *://*.amazon.com/* means http://www.amazon.com/ matches and
