sourcetype not getting set

I have the following confs

inputs:

[monitor:///opt/logs/\*.prd/\*/\*EndAudit.csv]
disable = false
index = foo

props:

[source::/opt/logs/\*bfc.sv.prd/\*/HttpConnectorService-\*-FrontEndAudit.csv]
sourcetype = HttpConFramework-FrontEnd-BFC
priority = 101

[source::/opt/logs/\*bfc.sv.prd/\*/HttpConnectorService-\*-BackEndAudit.csv]
sourcetype = HttpConFramework-BackEnd-BFC
priority = 101

these 2 sources are not getting their sourcetype set properly as defined above in the props

if I run ./splunk test sourcetype /opt/logs/symbfc.sv.prd/symbfc111/HttpConnectorService-11.02-FrontEndAudit.csv

Using logging configuration at /opt/instance/splunk/etc/log-cmdline.cfg.
PROPERTIES OF /opt/logs/symbfc.sv.prd/symbfc111/HttpConnectorService-11.02-FrontEndAudit.csv
    <snip>
    Attr:sourcetype HttpConFramework-FrontEnd-BFC
    </snip>

however running:

./splunk test sourcetype /opt/logs/\*bfc.sv.prd/\*/HttpConnectorService-\*-FrontEndAudit.csv

Command error: The argument '/opt/logs/symbfc.sv.prd/symbfc111/HttpConnectorService-11.02-FrontEndAudit.csv' is invalid.  Arguments must be specified in the form '-argument value'.

Are there actually wildcard's in your file names? If not you probably don't wan't a string literal wildcard
\*

## inputs.conf
## The ellipsis (...) wildcard recurses through directories and any 
## number of levels of subdirectories to find matches.  
## The asterisk wildcard matches anything in that specific directory path segment.
[monitor:///opt/logs/*.prd/.../*EndAudit.csv]
disable = false
index = foo

## props.conf
[source::/opt/logs/*.prd/.../*FrontEndAudit.csv]
sourcetype = HttpConFramework-FrontEnd-BFC
priority = 101

[source::/opt/logs/*.prd/.../*BackEndAudit.csv]
sourcetype = HttpConFramework-BackEnd-BFC
priority = 101
