CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL in RHEL4

I've got my own process listening directly for audit events on the
netlink interface. I'd like to drop its privileges for normal operation.
However, under certain circumstances it has to enable or disable
auditing, which requires CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL. I can't work out how to
create a cap_t with this capability. I've tried:

cap_from_text("CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL=pe") and
cap_from_text("cap_audit_control=pe") and
cap_from_text("30=pe")

However in all cases I get EINVAL. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Matt
