Creating custom exe issue

I followed the instructions on page 78 in the ESET Admin guide (we're running version 2.7) to create a self extracting exe installation with our corporate custom xml file. Everything worked fine and all our custom settings carried over with the exception of the "Special Settings" for our scheduled task so that when someone is out of the office, it'll update from ESET directly (we have 2 profiles configured). It lists "None" under Special Settings where all our office PC's show the primary and alternate settings. In configuration editor it shows these settings listed in the xml file we packaged with the self extracting exe...but when you install it, those particular settings don't carry over. Any ideas?
