It's a bug in latest GemPlay (documented for quite long time already
in compatibility list), it works only for files in the drive root.
Atari GEMDOS supports wildcards only in Fsfirst() call, and only for
the filename part:
"This may use wildcard characters (? or *) within the filename, however they
may not be used within the pathname. This function is the only GEMDOS
function which accepts wildcard characters in the path specification."
I.e. they're illegal (or literal?) in directory names.
