The good news is that fail2ban is working now. The bad news is that I don't know why fail2ban is working now.
I copied a working jail in the /etc/fail2ban/jail.local and put that copy at the top of the file thinking that something in the file might be causing jails near the bottom to not work right. That jail copy worked, then I tried to break that jail, but could not break it, then put it at the bottom of the jail, and it still worked. Then I set my testing jail to what I had been working on to the desired settings, and it worked.
I also did a server update, and that might be what fixed the problem. Whatever it was, it affected fail2ban-client, and not fail2ban-regex, and it's working now.
