Are there multiple messages in the conversations that persist in the Inbox? If you have conversation view ON (the default), if even one message in the conversation does not "Skip the Inbox" (that is, does not match the filter rules), it makes the whole conversation appear in the Inbox. (Turn Conversation view OFF and you should see only that message in the Inbox; the rest should be archived.)
Were any messages in the conversation CC'd to you directly? Some people routinely do a reply/all which makes a copy go to you directly, bypassing the list server. Gmail discards the copy (ugh!), but keeps the message in the Inbox if either of the copies doesn't match the filter's "list" criterion.
