Don't ignore file in subdirectory?

I have the following .gitignorefile

*.pyc

project/app/dist/*
project/bin/*
project/etc/*
project/var/*

!README.txt

So far, so good that most of my files are README.txtnot ignored, just like I want this to happen, except project/ect/downloads/README.txt. This file is ignored. Why is this? And how can I fix this?

If I remember correctly, I can simply add it to my project manually, but I would like to know what I am doing wrong, ignoring the file.
