You need to use the --input-logs option. If ausearch sees stdin as a pipe, it 
assumes that is where it gets its data from. The input logs option tells it 
to ignore the fact that stdin is a pipe and process the logs. Aureport has 
the same problem and option to fix it.

This was fixed in the 1.6.7 general release and backported to the 1.6.5 RHEL5 
release.
