Having Trouble Fixing False Positive

Hi,

Hoping someone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm seeing
a bunch of false positives when rule #959006 fires due to specific
strings that show up in a specific google analytics cookie. The cookie
name is "__utmz" so I created a replacement rule that excludes that
cookie by name as follows:

----
SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS|XML:/*|!REQUEST_HEADERS:'/^(Cookie|Referer|X-OS-Prefs)$/'|REQUEST_COOKIES|REQUEST_COOKIES_NAMES|!REQUEST_COOKIES_NAMES:/^__utmz$/
\

SecRuleRemoveById 959006
-----

However, mod-security is now firing the same false positive against my
new rule. I can see it is matching against the new rule (#101) and
against the very cookie that I excluded (__utmz):

----
Message: Access denied with code 501 (phase 2). Pattern match
"/big-pattern-omitted/" at REQUEST_COOKIES:__utmz. [file
"/etc/httpd/modsecurity.d/modsecurity_localrules.conf"] [line "11"]
[id "101"] [msg "System Command Injection"]
----

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? I followed the procedure outline
in this article:

Thanks,

Sam
