Can't get kickstar to change mirror host

I'm doing a net install of 6.06.1 LTS Server.  It's working fairly well but I 
can't get it to tell the installer to go to my local mirror rather than 
us.archive.ubuntu.com.  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?  I've been 
trying all day yesterday to get this working!  I expect I'm missing something 
obvious.

Here's my ks.cfg file:

#platform=x86
#System language
lang en_US
#Language modules to install
langsupport en_US
#System keyboard
keyboard us
#System mouse
mouse
#System timezone
timezone America/Phoenix
#Root password
rootpw --iscrypted $1$gpRiqS7i$kIVjvD0SD1ZJg6Gu6s7Kf0
#Initial user
user --disabled
#Reboot after installation
reboot
#Use text mode install
text
#Install OS instead of upgrade
install
#This should make it use my local mirror but it doesn't work!
