No, it's just that at present there's not an "exclude group" syntax
for pagelist.  Thus the line

    (:pagelist group= -PmWiki -PmWikiDe -Test -Main list=normal:)

Says to exclude every page that contains "PmWiki", "PmWikiDe", "Test", and "Main".
That "group=" is probably causing a problem too.

At present the only way to do group exclusion is to create a special "list"
option for it.  You can do tell "list=normal" to exclude these groups via:

    $SearchPatterns['normal'][] = '!^(PmWiki|PmWikiDe|Test|Main)\\.!';

and then the pagelist function would be simply

    (:pagelist list=normal:)

If we want to have a way to exclude groups in (:pagelist:), the syntax
will undoubtedly be

    (:pagelist group=-PmWiki,-PmWikiDe,-Test,-Main)

but that's not implemented yet.
