I have tried here with Kolab Server 2.1rc1.
And it does work, e.g. see the example command at
http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Filtering_Emails_on_the_Server

However I did not upgrade from server 2.0.
You could try a new installation on a similiar test machine and find out
if this is a problem only occurring with the migration. 
Comparing the differences then might help.

Here is a patch printing the error msg (I wonder why the original code does 
not do this). You could put in real values in there and see if this works.

Could encoding of your locale play a role here?

We do use Kolab Server 2.1rc1 in production.
There are some edges where you need to be careful, but it general is works 
fine, so the kolab-users list is the right place to ask users questions. :)
