 I'm sorry for the late answer but I mistook this with
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=159384
 (which addresses the same issue but is already closed).
 
 Basically: fail2ban uses .local files to change the configuration. 
 fail2ban reads the .conf file first, than a .local file if it exists.
 See also http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/MANUAL_0_8#Configuration
 So you should make your changes not in the .conf files but in a .local file.
