Disabling Rules via disablesid.conf

I have Snort running on a few sensors around our network.  We have subscriptions for the rules and we use pulledpork to 
download the rules daily.

I am not attempting to turn the rules a little bit to disable some items that we do not need to see.  I put these in 
disablesid.conf file and when I run pulled pork I see:

Processing /etc/snort/disablesid.conf....
        Disabled 3:21355
        Disabled 3:19187
        Modified 2 rules
        Done

So it looks like it is disabling the rule, however I am still receiving alerts for the rule in my database.

Any ideas?
