Are these in a rules file? I was thinking about perhaps a previous "-i" 
(i.e. auditctl -i) preceeded your rule, however the man page says it 
always returns a success code.

So probably not that, unless the man page doesn't match reality. Can you 
provide a little more detail (e.g. parameters)?

Thx,
