    Good catch. This type of issues can be easily diagnosed using Fiddler to monitor the request you are doing. If you take a look at the request: http://<SERVER>/suite/plugins/servlet/forms_expression in Fiddler you will see the expression is sent as: expression%3D%3Dcalworkdays(2%2F1%2F2012%2C2%2F7%2F2012) which can be decoded using this site: meyerweb.com/.../ When decoded you will see the expression we are evaluating is of type:expression==calworkdays(2/1/2012,2/7/2012) which is not correct, because there are no quotes surrounding the dates. If you test this directly in the Rules interface it will give you the wrong value too.
