Default Policy not applying - 2.Feb.2012 6:44:46 AM

Hi All

My Default email address policy is not applying.

Upgraded from 2003 -> 2007,

Have upgraded email address policy and address lists as per this article:
http://www.fots.nl/index.php/archive/update-legacy-email-address-policies-and-address-lists/

If I edit the default policy I am unable to change any settings, however it does allow me to add email addresses, click next and schedule to apply immediately, next, next..

I then get this error:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: 2 item(s). 0 succeeded, 1 failed.
Elapsed time: 00:00:00

Edit Default Policy
Failed

Error:
The operation cannot be completed on the default e-mail address policy.

Exchange Management Shell command attempted:
set-EmailAddressPolicy -Instance 'Default Policy'

Elapsed Time: 00:00:00

Apply Default Policy
Cancelled
--------------------------------------------------------------

and the changes I have made, such as adding a email address do not apply and are not saved in the policy, IE: Are not there when I edit the policy again.

The policy is also not automatically applying to new users, and so I have to manually add email addresses to there accounts, which then work ..

any advice?

thanks
Steve

If I run:
set-EmailAddressPolicy -Instance 'Default Policy'

in powershell I get the below
