Hmm, ... probably ...

- do apply the "Tracknumber Assistent" (Auto-numbering Wizard)

- or do apply an action "Format value":  
Field: TRACK  
Formatstring: $num(%TRACK%,1)

- or maybe you want to split tracknumber and totaltracks, now stored together in the track tagfield, into two different tagfields TRACK and TOTALTRACKS?

Your screendump shows an action of the type "Replace" and not "Format value". Your attempt will not work.

How does the "Auto-numbering Wizard" work, so that you can say, it does not work?

Sorry, poster rama, I do not see how the use of a non-standard field name should solve the original problem.  
Could you explain what you did?

have look at post #5 and #6 in this thread - if you put them together, then you have the solution.

The track numbering wizard works perfect for several albums if you have every album in a separate folder and have the tracks sorted first by track and then by album.  
Check the option to reset the counter for each folder and that should do it.

Generally, yes.  
And if you want to have padding zeros use  
$num(%track%,2)
