Controlling screensaver options w/GPO

I need to be able to control the settings for the 'My Pictures Slideshow Screensaver' using a GPO. The enable screensaver settings (available in the system.adm file) are set in the local GPO to use 'ssmypisc.scr' as the default. I have created an additional adm file to properly set the registry for the several of the 'ssmypics.scr' options but it still doesn't work.

;ssmypics.adm

KEYNAME "Control Panel\Screen Saver.Slideshow"

ImageDirectory="Use pictures in this folder:"
DisableTransitions="Use transitions between pictures"
AllowStretching="Stretch small pictures"
AllowKeyboardControl="Allow scrolling through pictures with keyboard"
ChangeInterval="How often should pictures change"
MaxScreenPercent="How big should pictures be?"
MYPicsSlideShowScreensaver="My Pictures Slideshow Screensaver"
MYPicsSlideShowScreensaver_Explain="Explained"

I've used gpresult to ensure that the registry is being set but it is still not controlling the screensaver options.
