You're adding 2 and 2  and coming up  with 5.

If you want to exclude accesses to the /staff/ folder, then use FILEEXCLUDE
/staff/*.

If you have HOSTEXCLUDE 10.0.0.* and you see requests to /staff/, that
doesn't mean that HOSTEXCLUDE  is broken, it means that someone outside
10.0.0.* is accesing /staff/

If you want to find out who is accessing  the /staff/ folder from an IP
address outside 10.0.0.*  (because somebody is!), then use

HOSTEXCLUDE 10.0.0.*
FILEINCLUDE /staff/*
HOST ON

and look in the Host Report. (It  might be a good idea to switch to OUTPUT
HTML while
you're trouble-shooting).
