Do Smartbones only manipulate points?

I am trying to make a smart bone translate an image layer up and down as I turn the bone like a dial, however, the layer does not move. I just upgraded to pro today so either I am doing it wrong or smartbones aren't as smart as I thought.
Any help?

If you are in 9.2:
In vector layers that are a child of a bone layer
Point motion
Curvature
Line width
Fill color
Stroke color
In any layer type that is a child of a bone layer
Layer translation
Layer scale
Layer rotation (X, Y, and Z)
Layer shear
Layer opacity
Layer blur
In the same layer as the smart bone itself
Bone translation
Bone scale
Bone rotation
If everything goes well, there should come more channels for new 9.x versions.

Ok, it sounds like what I want to do is possible but I can't figure out how. I have a vector layer that acts as intended but when I try to do the same thing to an image layer, it doesn't work at all.
Can some one try it themselves and see if they can get it to work?

Do you have the image layer inside the bone layer? Works here in v9.2.

I have a switch layer then a bone layer then an image layer.

Wait, it doesn't work with transform layer?
What about using smart bones to move another bone?
I tried this too and cannot get it to work.
The only thing I can get a smart bone to move is vector points.

Everything you mention works. Layer transform is the same as layer translate, scale, and rotate.
Are you sure you have the 9.2 update installed?

Sorry. It would appear that I am dumb. I am on 9.1
I will update and report back.
edit, Yep it works now, thanks for the help.
