You may not be doing anything wrong. From the man page,

  you need to have the Online ext2 resize support
  (CON-FIG_EXT2_RESIZE)  feature  enabled  in  the kernel (after
  applying the appropriate patch for the 2.x series of kernels).

*I* don't know if the kernel(s) have been compiled with this enabled? Do
you know?
