Updating Liferay User Lockout

I've built a portlet that can administrate users in Liferay.

One of the options I'm looking to implement is the ability to Lock and unlock users using the password lockout.

When I try and update the lockout it does nothing, I'm using the following:

UserLocalServiceUtil.updateLockoutById(userId, true)

This doesn't throw an exception or log a fault, it looks as though everything went well but the database is not updated and the user account is unaffected.

What's going on? Am I missing something? The JavaDoc is pretty clear.

Note: I'm not trying to deactivate the account, only lock out and unlock the user.

In the password policy you must specify the "Lockout Enabled" option as enabled otherwise the method will do nothing.
