How can I update iLife on my new MBA 11" i7?

Question

I just purchased a fully loaded MBA yesterday.  When attempting to upgrade the software, I noticed iTunes and Remote Desktop but that's all.  After logging into the AppStore to download previously purchased items, I noticed updates were available for iLife.  After clicking upgrade all, I received a dialog box stating "This update is not available.  You must have previously purchased the item being updated.  Tap Buy to purchase it now."
Has anyone run into this issue and resolved it?

I work for an Apple Reseller in the Netherlands and after having this issue with my new MBA and verifying it with Apple Care I've come up with a temporary solution for the problem.
Note: This is not for the faint-hearted and requires an iLife '11 install disc.
After finding out about this issue I tried replacing the iLife Support files with the ones from the iLife '11 install disk to prevent the App Store from updating and restoring updates through Software Update. This didn't work. The solution that did work requires you to do the following:
Start by removing all iLife related applications from the /Applications folder.
1. Press "cmd + shift + g" and type "/Library"
2. Navigate to "Application Support"
3. Delete all iLife related folders (iLife, iLifeMediaBrowser, iLifeSlideshow, iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband, etc...)
4. Return to "/Library" and navigate to "Preferences"
5. Delete all files related to iLife which all have the following format: com.apple.NAMEOFPRODUCT.EXTENSION (the files include those containing the words: iLife, iPhoto, Garagaband, iMovie, etc...)
6. Press "cmd + shift + g" and type "~/Library"
7.Navigate to "Application Support"
8. Delete all iLife related folders (iLife, iLifeMediaBrowser, iLifeSlideshow, iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband, etc...)
9. Return to "/Library" and navigate to "Preferences"
10. Delete all files related to iLife which all have the following format: com.apple.NAMEOFPRODUCT.EXTENSION (the files include those containing the words: iLife, iPhoto, Garagaband, iMovie, etc...)
11. Check both "~/Library" and "/Library" for iLife related folders (the iMovie folder cannot be deleted)
12. Install iLife '11 from the iLife '11 install dvd by sharing it on a disc drive or making a disc image on a USB-stick or drive.
13. Open Software Update and retrieving the latest versions. This has to be done twice to get the latest iPhoto release.
Done!
Disclaimer: I do understand that this is a bad solution for less advanced users but if you find this problem so important this is currently the only valid fix.
