Directory comparison filters

Together with others, I have the following filters:
  • :*\System Volume Information\*
  • :*\RECYCLER\*
  • :*\$RECYCLE.BIN\*
but when I perform a comparison I can see the files in the recycle bin and I also receive messages sayng
Could not open file 'H:\System Volume Information\IndexerVolumeGuid' to read.: Permission denied.
and
Could not open file 'H:\System Volume Information\MountPointManagerRemoteDatabase' to read: Permission denied.
Same results even if I add "Exclude items with attributes HS".

What I'm doing wrong?
(N.B. Windows XP 32)

We'll take a look at :*\System Volume Information\*. What about these two:

:*\RECYCLER\*
:*\$RECYCLE.BIN\*

Do they work?

My bad!
Accidentally I deselected "Use comparison filters".
Sorry.
