fail2ban apache-badbots regex not working

So I'm trying to get this working on an nginx proxy, but the regex is just not catching stuff.

Here's apache-badbots.conf

Code:

failregex = ^<HOST> -.*"(GET|POST).*HTTP.*"(?:%(badbots)s|%(badbotscustom)s)"$

ignoreregex =

If I try to test it on a log entry line that I copied out of my logs, like so
fail2ban-regex '93.219.94.15 - - [12/Apr/2013:13:27:48 -0400] "GET /your-first-visit HTTP/1.0" 200 3915 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MJ12bot/v1.4.3; http://www.majestic12.co.uk/bot.php?+)" "-"' /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/apache-badbots.conf

I get this

Code:

Running tests
=============

Use regex file : /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/apache-badbots.conf
Use single line: 93.219.94.15 - - [12/Apr/2013:13:27:48 -0400] "GET...


Results
=======

Failregex: 0 total

Ignoreregex: 0 total

Summary
=======

Sorry, no match

Look at the above section 'Running tests' which could contain important
information.

Obviously not matching. As far as I can tell the regex looks right to catch that.

 

Something is up with your connection and fail2ban is shutting you down because of it.
