Problems with partman-auto expert recipe in kickstart config

Hi,

I'm using the following preseed partman-auto directives in a kickstart 
file (instead of using the standard part commands which I've run into 
some problems with).

For some reason these commands are failing and I'm ending up with some 
other partitioning scheme applied - can anyone spot whats wrong with 
this recipe?

preseed partman-auto/method string regular
#preseed partman-auto/choose_recipe select multi
preseed partman-auto/expert_recipe string boot-root ::        \
               4096 1 4096 linux-swap                          \
                       method{ swap } format{ }                \
               .                                               \
               10240 2 10240 ext3                              \
                       $primary{ }                             \
                       method{ format } format{ }              \
                       use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }    \
                       mountpoint{ / }                         \
               .                                               \
               10 2 3000000 ext3                               \
                       $primary{ }                             \
                       method{ format } format{ }              \
                       use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }    \
                       mountpoint{ /webstar1 }
preseed partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
preseed partman/choose_partition select finish
preseed partman/confirm boolean true


Thanks,

-stephen
