unwanted kernel

As instructed in the Fedora 7 installation guide, I inserted the line

exclude kernel=* kernel-doc kernel-source kernel-smp*debuginfo*

in my yum.conf file.  (It's not on one line in this message on my screen, but it is in the file.  Anyway, when I do

yum update

it promises to install

kernel                  i686       2.6.22-133.fc7  updates            16 M

again, all on one line.

I'm appending the text of my yum.conf in case I did something wrong here, but the line looks to me just like in the installation guide.

I actually seem to have installed this other kernel doing

yum update -y

on Friday:  there were new lines in my grub.conf.  Luckily, I rebooted without a problem, and eventually removed the thing.  Still, I thought the exclude line was meant to prevent just this problem.  Any suggestions?

Thanks

Al
