Go to Emirates.com, access Multi City Search and select Yes under Are you a Skywards Member. Log in with your Skywards Number and password. Select Skywards Miles as payment method then enter your route and dates. You can just select the segment you want to upgrade if it makes it easier.
When you press Find Flights it'll display those available. If it shows a Skywards Saver Reward (not a Flex Reward) available in Business Class this means an upgrade reward seat is available (they are the same booking class).
Press Next Day to move through the calendar.
Availability is a bit of a lottery as you're finding out. I booked an upgrade award recently for January 2012 but another for April 2011 only became available 4 weeks ago.
Hope this helps.
