Could be you're trying to use setq or such to achieve the desired  
effect? The correct way is via the customise interface, i.e. in the  
end of ~/.emacs, starting with

	(custom-set-variables

you can add entries like

	 '(dired-listing-switches "-alN --ignore=PATTERN")

until a final

	)

is encountered. I have no idea what this PATTERN could look like, so  
I had on the command line no success. You can find access to the  
customise system by checking the value of the variable dired-listing- 
switches.
