You may want to try another database.  I use GeoLiteCity.dat for 
testing. Make a symlink to it named /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat

Maybe your geoiplookup tools appears to work but is providing different 
results not identified as "country"?  Does your geoiplookup output say 
"GeoIP Country Edition"?
