Excludenodes not considered?

[force44 at Safe-mail.net]

I have in my torrc file this line:

ExcludeNodes {de},xxx,yyy

Despite the German nodes should not be used, some circuits use some of them, right now for example 

LavendarMan (Online)
Location: Worms, DE
IP Address: 89.12.25.230

and

susebib (Online)
Location: DE
IP Address: 90.135.0.47

The first one is in Germany according to a whois, the second one in fact seems to be in Sweden.

So if the second could be used, why is the first used?

Thank you
