i could be wrong, it's been a while. but from my shell scripting days 
the first thing i would spot is :

deny    \pdf$.\exe$                             Not allow
            ^

the '$' symbol indicates the end of the file name

if you wanted to catch blah.pdf.exe use    \pdf\.exe$

if you wanted to block each ending just write two rules.
