.plexignore is not working on Linux server

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: plexmediaserver-1.23.6.4881-e2e58f321.x86_64

I have the following .plexignore file:
-bash-4.2$ ls -al /home/e-smith/files/ibays/gallery/html/bilder/.plexignore
-rw-r–r-- 1 plex plex 40 Apr 29 2017 /home/e-smith/files/ibays/gallery/html/bilder/.plexignore
-bash-4.2$ more /home/e-smith/files/ibays/gallery/html/bilder/.plexignore

# ignore thumbnails directories
*/tn/*

But, it still picks up files like this one:
-bash-4.2$ ls /home/e-smith/files/ibays/gallery/html/bilder/FotoProsjekt/Arkitektur/tn/DSC00823.JPG
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/gallery/html/bilder/FotoProsjekt/Arkitektur/tn/DSC00823.JPG

The file is located in a sub folder called “tn” and should be ignored by */tn/*. Have I misunderstood the .plexignore syntax?

I found the problem. I had mistakenly defined the library root one level to high; i.e. the .plexignore file was located one level below the root.
