What version of Emacs is that?  I think there was a bug with this
feature when directories were concerned, and IIRC it's only fixed in
the CVS code (i.e. no released version does TRT with this).

In any case, directories are only ignored if they have a '/' appended
to them in 'completion-ignored-extensions'.
