That version should be fine. The format might be one of these:

dynamic_61: sha256($s.$p)
dynamic_62: sha256($p.$s)

...depending on how the salt was used (prepended or appended) and 
assuming just one iteration. There are numerous other possibilities as 
well, including these:

$ ../run/john --list=subformats | grep sha256 | grep -F '$s'
Format = dynamic_61  type = dynamic_61: sha256($s.$p)
Format = dynamic_62  type = dynamic_62: sha256($p.$s)
Format = dynamic_65  type = dynamic_65: sha256(sha256($p).$s)
Format = dynamic_66  type = dynamic_66: sha256($s.sha256($p))
Format = dynamic_67  type = dynamic_67: sha256(sha256($s).sha256($p))

Like Rich said they currently have to be converted to hex. In the above 
line I assume "2179" is the salt and hopefully it is meant to be used as 
a string. Just converting the Base64 hash alone:

$ echo '1Z4bNpdfcvLRW/+7Ui8zlTY277Srrqx0mlYDhKM6nXU=' | perl -ne 'use 
MIME::Base64; print unpack("H*", MIME::Base64::decode_base64($_)), "\n";'
d59e1b36975f72f2d15bffbb522f33953636efb4abaeac749a560384a33a9d75

Putting it together, it should look like this (all in one line in case 
it gets folded here):

ShortChic74@...oo.com:d59e1b36975f72f2d15bffbb522f33953636efb4abaeac749a560384a33a9d75$2179

Note that a '$' separates the hash and the salt. With this line in a 
file "test" you can attack it like this:

./john --format=dynamic_62 --bare=y test

...change to dynamic_61 instead if it's supposed to be sha256($s.$p).
