That sounds like the command is behaving exactly as documented.  It
detected a user error that attempts to add an ignored path.  That is
totally different from "the contents of the path failed to be indexed"
(perhaps due to background virus checker keeping the file open on broken
operating system platform) case, which the option tells it to ignore and
continue.
