First of all, you don't mention which version of htdig you're using.
Regular expressions in exclude_urls only work in the 3.2 betas, not in
the 3.1.x stable releases.  Secondly, for regular expressions to work in
3.2.x, they must be enclosed in brackets, e.g. [/doc/.*] to distinguish
them from simple substrings which are assumed by default (for backward
compatibility with 3.1.x config files).
