i don't know if this is your solution, but in my case the solution was very simple:
First, it didn't work in my case, too. After pressing the 'SAVE' button beneath the period parameter, i could also enable the automatic pattern update.
I think, there is no default value for the interval set, so enabling the automatic update must fail !!
I would hope, that this was your problem, too [:)]
sorry but i can't confirm this error.... For further checks i need cat /etc/wfe/conf/up2datedata, the running version and you initial install version (1.811 or 2.000). Thx for your reports and cooperation!

This may seem like a simplistic suggestion, but since it still seems unresolved-
I noticed some flacky behavior using Konquerer (The KDE installed browser) when working with the web interface. Switching to Mozilla (or Netscape) resolved my problem- just a thought...
I too have noticed this problem, you press the enable button but the indicator stays red & black. After reading the last response from Markus Hennig I had a look at /etc/wfe/conf/up2datedata and the PatternStatus: line was empty, so I edited it and entered an (which I guessed was on). Refreshing the page showed the indicator green & black and all was ok.
