You have encountered the same problem that hit lots of people before. It
hit so many people, it is now in the Ethereal FAQ:

"Q 5.3: I can set a display filter just fine, but capture filters don't work."
the answer to which can be found at:
http://www.ethereal.com/faq.html#q5.3

In case this doesn't help, please post again.
