Autowired spring bean null for cacheManager using ehcache spring annotations

I'm still new to spring and I'm trying to get ehcache spring annotations setup correctly. I'm using Spring 3.2.3 ehCache 2.4 and ehcache-spring-annotations-1.2.

When I try to access the reference to the cacheManager, it is always null. All the jars are on the build path, ehcache.xml is in the classpath and there are no xml errors. I've tried also including the classes in the component scan and using @Resource instead of Autowired. I'm stuck!

Application context:

    return ehCacheManger; // this is always null
