You can test out your queries with knife search first:

knife search node "role:web AND NOT name:web03"

The search query is actually a Solr query, so knowing some Solr query
search syntax will help. The particular gotcha with this is never lead
off with a NOT parameter, because that means something non-intuitive
in Solr land. If you need to find anything that's NOT something, do
"*:* AND NOT foo:bar".
