'*' doesn't do what you expect on *nix shells (e.g. bash), so either use '\*' 
or better yet, use the supported syntax shown when you run "addfiles":

ADDFILES v3.02-Linux (rev 1.48) - Adds Files to Synchronet Filebase

usage: addfiles code [.alt_path] [-opts] +list [desc_off] [size_off]
   or: addfiles code [.alt_path] [-opts] file "description"

available opts:
      -a         import ASCII only (no extended ASCII)
      -b         synchronize database with file list (use with caution)
      -c         do not remove extra spaces from file description
      -d         delete list after import
      -e         do not import extended descriptions
      -f         include file date in descriptions
      -t         include today's date in descriptions
      -i         include added files in upload statistics
      -n         do not update information for existing files
      -o         update upload date only for existing files
      -u         do not update upload date for existing files
      -z         check for and import FILE_ID.DIZ and DESC.SDI
      -k         keep original short description (not DIZ)
      -s         search directory for files (no file list)
      -l <lib>   specify library (short name) to Auto-ADD
      -x <name>  specify uploader's user name (may require quotes)

Auto-ADD:   use - in place of code for Auto-ADD of FILES.BBS
            use -filename to Auto-ADD a different filename
            use -l "libname" to only Auto-ADD files to a specific library
