Windows 7 deployment keeps failing

Question

I keep getting errors when trying to deploy Windows 7 Pro x64 from the source files that I imported in MDT.  Below is a snippet of my smsts.log file.  It looks like it is having a problem saving the environment and that there may be a program issue.
Has anyone else had this problem?  If so, what did you do to get around this.  The only thing I can think of is that after importing windows 7 source files and going through the unattend.xml file, there are two deprecated entries in there by default.  I didn't remove them, but I also didn't think they would cause issues like this.  I'm not sure if in fact these deprecated values are the issue or not.
