That's strange. It's working for me:
C:\Users\Noel>obabel -L fingerprints
FP2    Indexes linear fragments up to 7 atoms.
FP3    SMARTS patterns specified in the file patterns.txt
FP4    SMARTS patterns specified in the file SMARTS_InteLigand.txt
MACCS    SMARTS patterns specified in the file MACCS.txt

Can you doublecheck that the obabel you are running is the 2.3.2 one?
(If you can Cygwin installed you can type "which obabel"; otherwise
just rename obabel.exe to somethingelse.exe)

Can you double check the value of BABEL_DATADIR?
C:\Users\Noel>echo %BABEL_DATADIR%
C:\Users\Noel\AppData\Roaming\OpenBabel-2.3.2\data

C:\Users\Noel>dir %BABEL_DATADIR%\MACCS.txt
 Volume in drive C is System
 Volume Serial Number is 2CA8-5165

 Directory of C:\Users\Noel\AppData\Roaming\OpenBabel-2.3.2\data

03/10/2012  09:50             9,039 MACCS.txt
               1 File(s)          9,039 bytes
               0 Dir(s)  25,966,825,472 bytes free

And last but not least, make sure you do not have a file called
MACCS.txt in your current directory, or it will try to use that
instead (and fail!).

Then I'm all out of ideas...
