Perhaps you have the time set to a longer interval than the attempts?

In many cases people set up denyhosts when they really don't need it.

Do you remotely log in from only a single address?  Or just a few
addresses?  If so, just put ALL: ALL in /etc/hosts.deny and put your
allowed IP addresses into /etc/hosts.allow.  Then everything will be
denied by default except for the addresses you have specifically
allowed.  No need to run denyhosts at all in that situation.
