MySQL Connector Null Inserts

Greetings -

I have a MySQL table that I'm trying to insert records into:

mysql> explain delivery_manager;
+---------+-------------+------+-----+------------+-------+
| Field   | Type        | Null | Key | Default    | Extra |
+---------+-------------+------+-----+------------+-------+
| date    | date        | NO   | MUL | 0000-00-00 |       |
| domain  | varchar(30) | NO   | MUL | 0          |       |
| sent    | int(11)     | NO   |     | 0          |       |
| bounced | int(11)     | NO   |     | 0          |       |
+---------+-------------+------+-----+------------+-------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

I'm searching through our logs with the following search however while I get the proper results in my search output, it doesn't appear to be inputting those results properly into the database.

My search:

 sourcetype="dm_mainlog" logType="D" OR logType="P" recipientDomain=yahoo.com OR recipientDomain=gmail.com OR recipientDomain=aol.com OR recipientDomain=hotmail.com | eval recipientDomain=lower(recipientDomain) | fields logType, recipientDomain, _time | eval date=strftime(_time, "%Y-%m-%d") | rename recipientDomain as domain| stats count(eval(logType="D")) as sent, count(eval(logType="P")) as bounced by date,domain | mysqloutput host=dbhost username=un password=pw schema=db table=delivery_manager insert=date,domain,sent,bounced

mysql> select * from delivery_manager where date='2012-07-23';
+------------+--------+------+---------+
| date       | domain | sent | bounced |
+------------+--------+------+---------+
| 2012-07-23 | 0      |    0 |       0 |
| 2012-07-23 | 0      |    0 |       0 |
| 2012-07-23 | 0      |    0 |       0 |
| 2012-07-23 | 0      |    0 |       0 |
+------------+--------+------+---------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Is this something that the MySQL connector can input? Where might I be going wrong?

So for those playing along at home, the issue was I was missing quotes around the insert command:

sourcetype="dm_mainlog" logType="D" OR logType="P" recipientDomain=yahoo.com OR recipientDomain=gmail.com OR recipientDomain=aol.com OR recipientDomain=hotmail.com | eval recipientDomain=lower(recipientDomain) | fields logType, recipientDomain, _time | eval date=strftime(_time, "%Y-%m-%d") | rename recipientDomain as domain| stats count(eval(logType="D")) as sent, count(eval(logType="P")) as bounced by date,domain | mysqloutput host=dbhost username=un password=pw schema=db table=delivery_manager insert="date,domain,sent,bounced"
