It looks like you have two options. Use FeedBurner (owned by Google) for your feed which will provide you with lots of stats (even more than you may want) or you can use the method found here: http://www.gospelrhys.co.uk/2007/09/how-to-track-new-rss-subscribers-google-analytics-in-3-easy-steps.html to create a forwarding page which captures the click in Analytics, then forwards the user to your feed. It’s is a little bit of a hassle, but if you have to use Analytics that seems to be the way to do it.
