As near as I can tell, your pattern is fine. Just as a guess, did you
already 'bzr add' those files? Explicitly versioning a file always takes
precedence over an ignore rule.

If that is so, you should be able to do "bzr rm --keep something.txt~".
And then the file will switch to 'unversioned', and thus 'ignored'.
