You are welcome to improve the man page.

 Another thing I noticed is that unwanted directories/files which were
 already there (in the mirrored directory tree) did not go away.

lftp does not touch excluded local files. Maybe there should be separated
options --exclude-remote and --exclude-local, currently they are the same.

 I can't seem to be able to skip those directories :( What's wrong?
 How is the matching done?

Try to leave out the final /.*, put $ (it means EOL) there instead.

Tried as suggested:

open hftp://ftp.sunet.se
mirror -v -c -e -x \
"(mail-archives|old|snapshots)$" \
pub/lang/cygwin /home/cii/cygwin/mirror/cygwin

but no joy :( I'd like to see what's going on. What debug value should
I use?

Cheers,
