problems with prelude-manager's idmef-criteria and thresholding

I am attempting to configure filters on my incoming events by setting up 
idmef-criteria and thresholding in prelude-manager.conf.

My system is a Fedora 10 x86_64 box running prelude-manager-0.9.14.2-1 
rpms obtained from Fedora Koji.

Following the documentation here:

https://trac.prelude-ids.org/wiki/PreludeManager/FilteringPlugins

My prelude-manager.conf file looks like this:

-----
include = /etc/prelude/default/global.conf
listen = 10.0.0.10

[db]
type = mysql
host = localhost
port = 3306
name = prelude
user = prelude
pass = password

[idmef-criteria=bittorrent]
rule = alert.classification.text == 'P2P BitTorrent transfer'
hook = thresholding[bittorrent]

[thresholding=bittorrent]
path = alert.classification.text, lert.target(0).node.address(0).address
threshold = 1
seconds = 3600
hook = db
-----

My /etc/prelude/default/global.conf file only specifies the node-name 
and node-location.


When I try to start prelude-manager, I get these errors:

/etc/prelude-manager/prelude-manager.conf:19: invalid option "seconds" 
in "global" section.
/etc/prelude-manager/prelude-manager.conf:20: invalid option "hook" in 
"global" section.

Also, the documentation states that the syntax should be 
'[idmef-criteria-filter=bittorrent]' but when I use that I get even more 
errors like the ones above.  Switching back to '[idmef-criteria]' seems 
to make it complain less.

What am I doing wrong?  Am I missing a section definition somewhere?
