No, I think it don't think that that's the problem. Do the *.swf files have
arguments after them? If so, you also need to exclude *.swf?* -- see
docs/args.html.

When analog starts up, it includes the (equivalent of the) command
PAGEINCLUDE *.html,*.html,*/
So you can imagine this command at the top of your configuration file.
Now /conamehomepage doesn't match any of the inclusions or exclusions, and a
PAGEINCLUDE is first, so /conamehomepage isn't a page.
If you really want to include everything except named stuff as a page, then
put
PAGEINCLUDE *
before the PAGEEXCLUDE command.
This is obvious if you run
analog -settings
It's not obvious if you only read the documentation. :)
