Transact SQL :: WMI Alerts Errors

I am having a problem registering any WMI Event in the ootMicrosoftSqlServerServerEvents namespace on all of my SQL Servers.  It doesn't matter what instance I append behind this either.  MSSQLSERVER fails as will any other named instance.  I get the same exact errors on every server which isn't surprising since they currently all have identical configurations, excluding hardware:
 
"The @wmi_query could not be executed in the @wmi_namespace provided. Verify that an event class selected in the query exists in the namespace and that the query has the correct syntax."and it doesn't apply because my servernames are all 8 characters long, and I already applied CU6 to the servers months ago.  The current @@Version on all Servers is:
 
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3233.00 (X64)   Mar  6 2008 21:58:47   Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation  Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
 
the only differece is that some of them are x86 instead of X64, but the problem occurs on the x86 servers as well.What is interesting is I can register other WMI namespaces just fine, like the following from Jason Massies Blog:
 
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_alert
@name =N'Test',
@enabled =1,
@delay_between_responses =0,
@include_event_description_in =0,
@wmi_namespace =N'.ROOTCIMV2',
@wmi_query =N'SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 600 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_LogicalDisk" AND TargetInstance.FreeSpace < 100000'
GO
 
I can create the WMI Alert on my laptop which is build 3054.
