Duplicate title tags and robots.txt

For some reason googlebot is indexing pages that I've restricted it from going. This is in my robots.txt file:
User-Agent: *
Disallow: /misc/
Disallow: /category/
Disallow: /category/cat_page/
Disallow: /misc/contact_us/
Disallow: /*?
Disallow: /search/results/
Disallow: /articles/art_page/

Am I doing it right? Basically the URLs im blocking is www.mysite.com/misc/ .

I also set the meta tag to 'noindex' for those dir for my domain.

I can't see any reason why that wouldn't work. Have you tried using the robots.txt analysis tool in Google Webmaster Tools?

Also, as you have disallowed /misc/, disallowing /misc/contact_us/ is now redundant.

Yea, I figured that was redundant. I using the anaylzing tool and it everything seems fine. I even submitted directories that I wanted to omit from their search engine. I guess I'll have to wait for results.
