Cisco Security map errors

I'm testing Splunk 6. It's a single server with 1 data input configured (syslog UDP port 514). I'm receiving the messages from my firewalls fine and I can run manual searches on the logs. I'm trying out the Cisco Security Suite. Pretty much every time I try to use it either the map doesn't show any overlays or I get the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Program
Files\Splunk\etc\apps\maps\appserver\modules\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.py",
line 53, in generateResults
for result in getattr(job, entity_name)[offset:end]: File

line 637, in pushValidation
raise splunk.SearchException, fatality SearchException: Error in
'script': Getinfo probe failed for
external search command 'geoip'

I ran a test to isolate the issue by just running a manual search with geoip on the src_ip and it worked perfectly without an errors so I know that geoip is working. What could be causing these errors with the Cisco Security Suite and the map?

Did you get an answer to this question? I am running a single server with a data input from a local Mysql database. I get the following error message when I run the search query. However, the error is not consistent. In other words, I get the error only about 50% of the time with the same search query.

Search query:
host="XXXX" sourcetype="dbmon:kv" | geoip source_ip

Error:

Nope, I've just moved on from Splunk and I'm currently looking at Elasticsearch.
