Remember that this is using 'regexp' style patterns, not filename
matching patterns.
So '*' means "zero or more of the preceding character"
Hence "vacm*" matches 'v', 'a', 'c' followed by a sequence
of any number of 'm's (including none)
With a pattern such as '*xyz', there isn't a preceding character for the '*'
modifier to apply to. I can't find anything that documents the behaviour
in this case, but I presume it's an automatic failure.

Try matching against '.*vacm.*' instead.
