The ! seems to work quite happy with find (Debian Etch; GNU find version 4.2.28
Features enabled: D_TYPE O_NOFOLLOW(enabled) LEAF_OPTIMISATION )

e.g.

mail:~# find /var/log/courier ! \( -name *.bz2 \) -print


Thanks for the posting though - I tried looking at fnmatch(3) (couldn't find) and via google which brought up the opengroup site, but it appeared to require plenty of reading and was quite terse.
