Ok, then you will want to remove the [ ] from your filter, since those
characters have special meaning... or escape them ( \[ \] )

As a side note, I strongly urge you to upgrade to the 1.7.x series of code...
There have been a lot of fixes and new features added since 1.6.1  Also, you
can be a guinea pig and follow the README.migration instructions and make sure
that I haven't missed anything in there.

Thanks,
