grunt-contrib-jshint is not ignoring specified directories

Question

I have the following folders and files:

js/
   lib/
      jQuery.js
   compiled/
      all.js
   file1.js
   file2.js

I want JSHint to lint only file1 and file2 (without having to specify the exact files) and for it not to lint the lib folder and compiled folder.

Can anyone shed any light on why my JSHint task below is linting all .js files and not ignoring the compiled and lib folders?

    jshint: {
        options: {
            jshintrc: '.jshintrc'
        },
        all: [
            'js/**/*.js',
            '!js/compiled/**/*.js',
            '!js/lib/**/*.js'
        ]
    },

Try

jshint: {
    options: {
        jshintrc: '.jshintrc'
    },
    all: [
        'js/*.js',
        '!js/compiled/*.js',
        '!js/lib/*.js'
    ]
},

You don't need the ** as you don't have any intermediate folders.

This is missing the wildcard in the first two declarations, but it still doesn't work. – ajcw Feb 25 '14 at 22:51
Sorry, I've got problems with stack overflow editor, it does not accept my json as code and stripped the stars although :( – Pascal Le Merrer Feb 25 '14 at 22:54
