You have to add it in the page.tpl.php file too. Like this:

<?php if ($footer): ?>
        <div id="footer" class="footer">
          
          <?php print $footer ?>
        </div>
      <?php endif; ?>

You have to have the code in your page.tpl.php for it to show up in admin/build/block. Without the code, Drupal cannot know where this region is supposed to appear, so will not show it.

And don't forget to clear the cache (admin/settings/performance) after making changes to the .info file.

exmple of a function you'll need to add to your template.php file. 

function mytheme_regions() {
  return array(
    'right' => t('right sidebar'),
    'content' => t('content'),
    'header' => t('header'),
    'footer' => t('footer'),
    'floater' => t('floater'),
    'inline1' => t('inline 1')
  );
}

That is perfect for Drupal 5, but the OP's request is for Drupal 6 - see http://drupal.org/node/337173 as a starting point.
