I think that you may be experiencing a similar issue that I am having. I
have manually imported the new ruleset and attempted to restart
snort/demarc. I get an error stating

the syntax of the rules look fine and the classification.config file is
there but snort just won't take the new ruleset.

I am evaluating Demarc and have set it to auto_update. This snort sensor
was
started up about 20 minutes ago with the auto_update set to 5 minutes. I
have gotten this below since i started running demarc. has anyone seen this
problem?
