Your filter should be the last thing, so shift that -T to in front of 
it.  Any of the winsnort folks wanna chime in here?

I get this result::

What happens when you try it via command line?

Also of note.
It seems that if snort starts with a bpf file configured....then 
for
whatever reason, all traffic is no longer monitored, even though
snort has started.
So while this rule::
not net 10.10.0.0/24 and dst host 10.75.45.1 && dst port 80 or not
net
10.30.0.0/24 and dst host 10.75.45.1 && dst port 80

is pretty specific.....
I have another rule set in my local.rules file that should alert on
any FTP attempt to IP 10.76.65.1....and if the bpf file is 
configured
for snort, then the attempt is not alerted by snort.
If I remove the bpf file from being used, then any FTP attempt is
again alerted.

Quotation marks may be needed…try appending via command line as 
well.

What is DAQ? I have seen that, but have no idea what that is.

As far as my bpf file goes, if it is like this::

#not net 10.10.0.0/24 and not net 10.30.0.0/24

not net 10.10.0.0/24 and dst host 10.75.45.1 && dst port 80 or not
net
10.30.0.0/24 and dst host 10.75.45.1 && dst port 80

It will fail with::

Reading filter from bpf file: D:Snortetcignore2.bpf

ERROR: short read D:Snortetcignore2.bpf (169 != 170)

Fatal Error, Quitting..

If I remove the commented line, then snort starts fine.
If I try to have multiple lines in the file, (all being rules, no
comments) the it will fail with a similar error as above.
I have never seen a DAQ error.

Snort does allow comments in the BPF file, starting with # to end 
of
line. If there is a syntax error, you should see something like:

ERROR: Can't set DAQ BPF filter to '

...

' (pcap_daq_set_filter: pcap_compile: syntax error)!

Fatal Error, Quitting..

What DAQ are you using? Please send the BPF file that fails and the
error that you get.

i have no clue but it sounds like a coding error not allowing 
comment
lines i the BPF file... only joel or one of the snort dev guys can
tell us that... or possibly a code diver who can root around in the
snort code ;)
