Firewall disabling via group policy

I've followed the instructions in the WF_XPSP2.doc document on how to keep
the SP2 firewall disabled on our network, however our group policy currently
has a completely empty administrative template branch under Computer
Configuration. I was able to fix this by adding the system.adm template from
an XP SP2 machine under domain admin.

The problem is, whenever I change settings I get:

The Group Policy snapin was unable to save your changes due to the following
error:

The file can not be accessed by the system.

what sort of changes do I have to make, from everything I've read so far,
this is the correct way to add an administrative template =\
 
I don't think that's the issue (however it was a good guess as this was
enabling the firewall via policy) but the problem persists on other settings
(such as the other firewall options) while the firewall is clearly disabled.
