splunk rejects geo macro

I have the google maps application for splunk and configured geo location on it, and it works fine (search | geoip ip_address returns stuff). However when I try to configure web analytics with this app splunk rejects the data input.

What I think I should put in is

| geoip ip_address

but no matter what variation I try (quotes, no quotes etc) Splunk always barfs. Sample error from log

09-19-2011 19:10:34.896 +0000 ERROR AdminManager - Unexpected error "<class 'splunk.BadRequest'>" from python handler: "[HTTP 400] Bad Request; [{'text': 'In handler \'macros\': Argument "disabled" is not supported by this handler.', 'code': None, 'type': 'ERROR'}]".  See splunkd.log for more details.

The configuration screen mentions pasting one of the quote characters incorrectly, however I see no quote characters.

Running Splunk 4.2.1, and I downloaded this web analytics application last week.
