If you're a member of a domain, make sure that domain policy isn't
overriding your local policy and turning off object access auditing before
you can even test it. Make sure that you turned on both success and failure
auditing for the user that you wish to audit on this object. Easiest way
for testing is to just add Everyone to the list for both success and failure
audits for the object.
