The main changes here are that you change the network name to
"irc.freenode.net" and add \C-b to the beginning and end of the
regex - do I see that right?

The change of the network name is necessary if you always use M-x
circe to connect to the network; if you use (circe ...) with the
correct network argument, it works as is (which is the recommended
way). I guess it might be a good idea to have the host name as the
network name, at least for freenode. Hm.

As for the regexp, Circe uses `string-match' of the regexp on the
privmsg, so it shouldn't matter whether you include the C-b there.
The regexp also works for me on freenode.
