wget shows file names of user's /home

I have got apache running on a ubuntu desktop, and have created an unprivileged user account to run apache and own the files served by apache. Root also continues to run one instance of apache...this seems necessary to access log files.

 

If I run wget http://my.domain.com *

Only the index.html in virtual host is downloaded...Good! However, a list of failed attempts, containing the names of all the files in my primary user's home directory is printed to the terminal.

 

This is bothersome for obvious reasons. I don't want the names of all my /home files exported via wget. I hoped only the files in the "unprivileged" user's /home directory would be exported.

TIA
