Problem with silent install of 11gR1 on Windows 2008

Question

I'm doing a silent install of 11gR1 on Windows Server 2008. It works fine on Windows Server 2003. I have SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK set to false, yet it seems to be forcing it to true and then it fails the install because I have an invalid metalink username/password. In the install log I get this, as expected:
INFO: Setting variable 'SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK' to 'false'. Received the value from response file.
but then I get this later on:
INFO: Setting the value of SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK to true
INFO: Setting variable 'SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK' to 'true'. Received the value from a code block.
SEVERE: Invalid MetaLink credentials. Specify the correct e-mail address and password that you use to log in to MetaLink.
INFO: User Selected: Yes/OK
Invalid MetaLink credentials. Specify the correct e-mail address and password that you use to log in to MetaLink.
Why is it forcing this to true? As I said, this same exact response file works fine with Server 2003. Any suggestions?
Oh, also, I've tried forcing the value to false on the command line and by not specifiying a value (because the default is supposedly false).
Thanks in advance

Here is the command line I used on the last attempt:
setup -silent "ACCEPT_LICENSE_AGREEMENT=true" -responseFile C:\database\standard11.rsp -waitforcompletion -nowait
And here is the response file (I had to delete a lot of the comments to get it to fit within the 30000 character limit for this message):
