Shell wildcards (filename*.jpg) and regular expressions
(.*stuff.*) are different things; procmail uses the latter.
So the correct form of what you're looking to do is

* !(To|Cc).*jamie at curdnerd.*.com

Though you might want to be a little more specific and do
something like

* !(To|Cc).*jamie at curdnerds?.com

which says that 'curdnerd' can have one or more 's's at the
end.
