Tried with -- ?
Maybe replace the last * with [! ]*

I tried the following in /etc/sudoers:
* myuser ** ALL=/o*/te*

And cat /opt/test
* #!/bin/bash
* echo "$*"
* touch /root/test

Then:
* $ sudo /opt/test agentsvc --i --u root --sn 1m7command
* agentsvc --i --u root --sn 1m7command
With a /root/test file appearing.
Seems to work fine...
