Hi Sarah,
I don't think my instructions for how to enter the Google Analytics property ID were very clear. The correct format is "UA-12345678-1", including the "UA-" at the beginning and the "-1" at the end. I've added a note on my instructions page clarifying that.
If the plugin is saving the value you enter, and that value appears in the settings box after you save the settings, the permissions are fine.
Keep in mind that you won't be able to see the Google Analytics data immediately. There's a delay from when it's collected by Google, and when you can view it in your Google Analytics dashboard. In other words, don't expect to be able to hit refresh in your browser and immediately go over to your Google Analytics dashboard and see that hit show up in the logs. There's a delay of a couple hours or even days. This is how Google works, it's not a limitation in the plugin.
So it could be that everything is working fine, you just can't see the data in Google Analytics for a day or two so it looks like something's broken.
If you give me the URL of the site, I can check and see if the GA tracking code is being added to the page properly, and if so, it's just a matter of time until you see the data.
