problem tuning out one particular rule

So I've been doing some Snort tuning over the last couple weeks.  I'm using Snort 2.9.0.4, Barnyard2, and PulledPork 
0.5.  There's this one event signature "WEB-CLIENT Portable Executable binary file transfer" (sid: 15306) and I've been 
trying to tune it out, but it still keeps on firing.

I have it in the disablesid.conf
# WEB-CLIENT Portable Executable binary file transfer
1:15306

I also put it in the threshold.conf as well
# ignore these WEB-CLIENT Portable Executable binary file transfer
suppress gen_id 1, sig_id 15306, track by_src, ip 10.0.0.0/8

Yet, the rule keeps firing.  All of the other rules I've ignored using the methods above have worked, so not sure 
what's different about this particular rule.

Thoughts?

Thanks.
