Killing barbs for city state doesn't improve relation

hi

here's another one for you: Stockholm asked for help fighting off some barbarians. I killed some archers in the nearby camp as well as those annoying and completely useless barb destroyers they managed to get, yet my relation towards them stayed at 20/30. In the message description (the one popping up on the right hand side), it said I d get a relation plus for every barb unit I killed.

Unless I got the wrong barb spawn pool, this seems to be a bug. Anyway, it would be really helpful if there was a way to show on the map, which barb encampment a city-state is talking about.

Possible factors: I ve got the social policy which sets my relation to city states to 20. I m going to upload a save as soon as i ve found it.

there you go, the barb encampment is just west of stockholm, in South Africa.

If you mouse over a camp it tells you if it is part of a quest.

If you kill a number of units, maybe 4, you get the bonus for destroying barbarians. Perhaps someone can confirm that.
 
Thanks to Ciproflox for uploading a save file and to DaveGold for the information about the mouseover. The barb camp in sight doesn't display a relevant message when I place my mouse over it. I reloaded the game several times and cleared as much fog as possible, but there were a few tiles that I couldn't clear that might have held barb camps. I'm going to say "not a bug". I did kill a barb Archer, Worker and Galley, but Stockholm said it was still worried about barbs. Can't confirm from this game about how many barbs you need to kill.
 
Well, I tried to go to the bottom of this and actually sent a ground unit to South America. I took that camp I ve been talking about, with no effect, explored the continent but didn't find another camp. The next round I discovered satellites and the map was revealed. I could only find one more encampment on world map, east of Australia (hovering above it didn't show any quest-related info though). The weird thing: As i move my destroyer there (through St. Louis in Middle America, fastest way) I find: an empty camp (that's not surprising) and two barb ships. For some reason those weren't upgraded into destroyers, I don't know. Anyway, I destroyed one of the ships, the next round the Stockholm quest is gone all of a sudden, without giving me credit or telling me, some1 else took care of the problem.
