Hawaii Interisland using miles? HNL-KOA

Although I've never (well, almost never) taken a flight on Delta, I have some Skypesos rolled over from NW and from an Amex card, so I thought I might use some up flying Interisland HNL-KOA....

But, it seems like it's not possible? I can see award travel availability using Hawaiian Miles (7,500 each way), or using United miles (5,000 miles each way) on the dates I want, but no availability with Delta miles.

If I call Delta, they will see some availability, but then when they try and book it they tell me it says "Itinerary not available using Sky Miles" - it appears that the res agent's system is telling them that a DELTA CODESHARE operated by HA has award availability, but then can't be booked when they put in my Skymiles #. I think the problem is the miles need to be used for a HA flight operated by HA not a codeshare? Or, is it just not possible to use miles for HA flights even though it shows as partner as interisland is in the award chart?

TIA!
