WMI Event Filtering not working

I'm not sure why, but this WMI filter isn't working. I'm trying to drop Windows Security Log events 4769, etc. before indexing. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

props.conf:
[WMI:WinEventLog:Security]
TRANSFORMS-wmi=wminull-1,wminull-2

transforms.conf
[wminull-1]
REGEX=(?mi)EventCode=(4769|4634|4776|4672|4770)
DEST_KEY=queue
FORMAT=nullQueue

[wminull-2]
REGEX=(?mi)Account_Name=(admin1|admin2|admin3)
DEST_KEY=queue
FORMAT=nullQueue

your example seems to be from splunk 4.1.*, the sourcetype changed since.

try

[WinEventLog:Security]
TRANSFORMS-wmi=wminull-1,wminull-2
