Am I doing something wrong, or is KVS just crap at finding real world cheaper fares?

I'm trying to find the cheapest way of getting from SYD-LON, leaving at the start of January and returning by the 12th of February. I search the KVSTool and find the three cheapest are with air china:

[KVS Availability Tool 7.1.0/Diamond - Sabre: Fares/DotRes/UK **]

SYD  Sydney Kingsford Smith NS AU [YSSY]
LON  London Metro UK = LHR LGW STN LTN LCY QQS QQW ZLS ZEP XQE
R/T  01 Jan 2013 | 12 Feb 2013 | All

Carrier    From    To    Fare      Cur                      Fare Basis/TD
---------  ------  ----  --------  ----  --------  ---  --  -------------
CA         SYD     LON       553   GBP                      ULRS3MAU
CA         SYD     LON       618   GBP                      GLRS6MAU
CA         SYD     LON       716   GBP                      QLRS6MAU
Ok, great - so I copy those to the ITA tool using option provided, and...the ITA tool doesn't find anything for those dates. For any of those fares.

What's going on? Why is it showing me fares for a specific date and telling me to go to ITA, and yet ITA shows nothing? How do I find the cheapest fares for those dates?
