Ok. My above criticism stands, however I think I have it working now. What I 
did was what you suggested, then I closed PAN, went to my command prompt and 
hand-edited the rules.xml file to show ONLY "ignored". It *appears* to be 
working now. I guess I get to go file a "bugzilla" report on the filters not 
saving the "invert" setting from the GUI configuration util.
