Did you log the value of IP::remote_addr to verify it's correct when googlebot is trying to access it?
Wouldn't it be simpler to use a user-agent test?
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [string tolower [HTTP::header "User-Agent"]] contains "googlebot" } {
reject
}
}
This would block googlebot from any source network and is very easy to test with the user-agent switcher in FireFox.
