Fail2ban for apache2 doesn’t seem to be working

I have a lot of the following error messages in my apache error log:

[Thu Dec 16 15:13:24 2010] [error] [client 168.144.92.191] File does not exist: /var/www/mydomain/fud

In my /etc/fail2ban/jail.local I have:

# Fail2Ban configuration file.

# This file was composed for Debian systems from the original one
#  provided now under /usr/share/doc/fail2ban/examples/jail.conf
#  for additional examples.

# To avoid merges during upgrades DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE

# The DEFAULT allows a global definition of the options. They can be override
# in each jail afterwards.

[DEFAULT]

# "ignoreip" can be an IP address, a CIDR mask or a DNS host
ignoreip = myip
bantime  = -1
maxretry = 3

# "backend" specifies the backend used to get files modification. Available
# options are "gamin", "polling" and "auto".
# yoh: For some reason Debian shipped python-gamin didn't work as expected
#      This issue left ToDo, so polling is default backend for now
backend = polling

#
# Destination email address used solely for the interpolations in
# jail.{conf,local} configuration files.
destemail = root@localhost

#
# ACTIONS

# Default banning action (e.g. iptables, iptables-new,
# iptables-multiport, shorewall, etc) It is used to define 
# action_* variables. Can be overriden globally or per 
# section within jail.local file
banaction = iptables-allports

# email action. Since 0.8.1 upstream fail2ban uses sendmail
# MTA for the mailing. Change mta configuration parameter to mail
# if you want to revert to conventional 'mail'.
mta = sendmail

# Default protocol
protocol = tcp

#
# Action shortcuts. To be used to define action parameter

# The simplest action to take: ban only
action_ = %(banaction)s[name=%(__name__)s, port="%(port)s", protocol="%(protocol)s]

# ban & send an e-mail with whois report to the destemail.
action_mw = %(banaction)s[name=%(__name__)s, port="%(port)s", protocol="%(protocol)s]
              %(mta)s-whois[name=%(__name__)s, dest="%(destemail)s", protocol="%(protocol)s]

# ban & send an e-mail with whois report and relevant log lines

               %(mta)s-whois-lines[name=%(__name__)s, dest="%(destemail)s", logpath=%(logpath)s]

# Choose default action.  To change, just override value of 'action' with the

[apache]

enabled = true
port  = http,https
filter  = apache-auth
logpath = /var/log/apache2/error.log
maxretry = 3

# default action is now multiport, so apache-multiport jail was left

[apache-multiport]

enabled   = false
port    = http,https
filter    = apache-auth
logpath   = /var/log/apache*/*error.log
maxretry  = 6

[apache-noscript]

maxretry = 3

[apache-overflows]

enabled = false
port    = http,https
filter  = apache-overflows
logpath = /var/log/apache*/*error.log
maxretry = 2

In my /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/apache-noscript.conf I have:

failregex = [[]client <HOST>[]] (File does not exist|script not found or unable to stat): .*
failregex = [[]client <HOST>[]] script '.*' not found or unable to stat

My /var/log/fail2ban.log only has entries from when it was first started. Nothing mentioning IPs banned like my denyhosts.log does.

A check of "iptables -L -v -n" shows:

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 834K packets, 145M bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination

What am I missing or what did I do wrong?

**** Post updated to show complete jail.local files instead of just Apache jail section and results of "iptables -L -v -n".**
