Turn on "error_log" with "debug", then try to access one of the urls
you want to have denied. Look for the log lines with "test location:"
and "using configuration". That will tell you which location block is
being used for each request.

I suspect that the above regular expression does not match the locations
you want it to match. Specifically, the "*" probably wants a "." before
it.

Good luck,
