ASA 5505 Traffic Shaping Command Invalid

I have two ASA 5505 that are connected via VPN. I am trying to get traffic shaping enabled, but am running into some issues on the remote end. On the ASA on site here, everything worked fine. All commands excepted, and the ASA is shaping as it should. On the remote end the "shape average" command gives a ERROR: % Invalid input detected. I am a new system admin on this site, so implementing the QoS is a job I inherited, I did not deploy these ASA's.

The ASA with the error is on

ASA Version: 8.0(2)

ASDM Version: 6.0(2)

The ASA that worked fine is on

ASA Version: 8.2(5)

ASDM Version: 6.4(5)

Could the ASA Version be the issue here? From all that I can find the ASA 5505 should take the shape command in all version. Here are the commands that I am using to do my shaping.

class-map voice_traffic

match dscp cs5 ef

policy-map qos_class_policy

class voice_traffic

priority

policy-map qos_outside_policy

class class-default

shape average 9000000 (this is for my side) 4000000 - This is my remote side.

service-policy qos_class_policy

service-policy global_policy global

service-policy qos_outside_policy interface Outside

The only differences are the shape average size, each side has a different Upload speed, so I am putting the average to leave 1mb for VOIP on both sides.

Here is the error when attempting the shape command on the remote side.

Result of the command: "shape average 4000000"

shape average 4000000
^
ERROR: % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

on ASA shaping can be applied

on ASA shaping can be applied on aggregate traffic only and can be only configured under class class-default
