Zack, could this be caused by the "active" value being lower case?
The OpenStack [1] docs don't explicitly state anything about cases, but do list the possible values as "ACTIVE", "DOWN", "BUILD", "ERROR" in uppercase.
This is what is used in the test case [2]. ap[1] http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-network/2.0/content/Concepts-d1e369.html [2] https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs-openstack/blob/master/openstack-neutron/src/test/resources/network.json
