pg_dump question (exclude schemas)

I want to backup a database but exclude certain schemas with a patter.

I have 100 schemas with the pattern: 'sch_000', 'sch_001', and so on.

Will this work?

$pg_dump <other_options> --exclude-schema='sch_*'

this does not seem to exclude all schemas with this pattern ( 'sch_*'
), anything wrong here?

What version of Postgres?

What is the complete command line?

Does it exclude any of the schemas?

thanks

The option is fine and works for me on 9.2.4, I suspect the <other
options> could do a clash with the -N (exclude-schema).

It works fine on PostgreSQL 9.2.1.
When both -n and -N are given, the behavior is to dump just the schemas that
match at least one -n switch but no -N switches. If -N appears without -n,
then schemas matching -N are excluded from what is otherwise a normal dump.
