This will not work. See
https://mailman.cs.tut.fi/pipermail/aide/2005-August/000160.html

Aide does not allow regexes in the directory part of a selection rule.
The reason for this, is that aide uses that path information to decide
which directories to recurse into. Only the file part is a full featured
regex.

Sincerely,

Richard van den Berg
