"Could not understand your search date" - Error?

Question

I use date filters in smart albums. No problems until latest update. I now get an error message "Could not understand search date". This happens even if I exactly copy the example given in the error message.
Any ideas? Is it just me? Is there a work-around?
Thanks.

Okay. Still having problems with this. Can anyone help?
I have a number of "SMART ALBUMS" set up that include date parameters. These always worked well until recently. Now the date parameters are ignored and if I try to set up new ones, I get an error message saying that "Could not understand search date..."
Leonie kindly suggested the use of 'CALENDAR' instead but this only allows me to specify one specific date. I need to use a specific month or a date range.
Is anyone else having this search date problem?
INFO:
I have checked that I am using the correct date format. Even if, as suggested in the error message, I exactly copy the example formats -
[Could not understand your search date.
Some acceptable formats include:
Oct 13, 2007
October
10/13/2007 12:52
10/2007 4 pm],
I still get the error message.
ANY HELP GRATEFULLY RECEIVED
EDITED UPDATE: I have just tried Lionie's suggested method again and it now works. (Thank you Lionie). However, I'd still like to know why the date thing doesn't work and I now have to change every smart album in my Aperture library to use CALENDAR instead of DATE.
