First, you should probably use <Directory> or <DirectoryMatch> if you
are matching directories in the filesystem.  Second, the "Match"
sections use Perl-compatible regular expressions (in 2.0), while the
non-Match sections use fnmatch style wildcards, not regular
expressions.  This is all documented here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/sections.html#file-and-web
Which one you want to use depends on the complexity of your pattern.
