Hm, could you post the commands you are trying or at
least the error messages you are getting? 
I just verified the following and it works fine:

bsd52# ipfw add 1 set 2 count all from any to any
00001 count ip from any to any
bsd52# ipfw -S show 1
00001     47       4012 set 2 count ip from any to any
bsd52# ipfw set disable 2
bsd52# ipfw -S show 1
# DISABLED 00001    104       8944 set 2 count ip from any to any
bsd52# ipfw set enable  2
bsd52# ipfw -S show 1
00001    114       9832 set 2 count ip from any to any
bsd52#
(This is on 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9, what do you have?)
