Nope, that is wrong. If you want to use wildcards then you must 
run a local client command to generate the directory names. In your
case, something like

   dir:`ls -d /var/svn/projects/*/db`

should do it.

The difference is that when using a command like that, each of the
directories end up in a separate section in the client message.
And the directory size checking is done once per section, where it
just checks the last line (because the ones above are supposed to
be just subdirs of the directory you really want to check).
