That rule is at rev:1.  We start all rules at Rev 1.  

So, I am thinking two things

#1 -- You aren't using pulledpork to manage your downloads (which as part of it's download and managing process, it 
creates the sid-msg.map for you)
#2 -- Your barnyard2 instance isn't reading the sid-msg.map file that pulledpork generates.
