Take a look at the capp.rules or nispom.rules file in the audit package. Those 
are real working rules that have been commented. That is where I would start 
if I were setting up a system.

I think your issues are more fundamental than that. I think you have more 
rules than you shared with us and they are looking for unsuccessful calls and 
not considering the exit codes. There are plenty of people on this mail list 
that could help you with your rules if you told us what kinds of things you 
were needing to audit.
