It works for me with Squeeze but I usually use the short version of
the variables (I was just giving the long ones for reference; sorry).
You might be having a problem because there's a limit on the length of
the kernel parameters. Or there might be a change. In the latter case,
you can pass "DEBCONF_DEBUG=5" to the kernel and, when you're install
stops with a question, the last syslog line on VT4'll have debconf
value that needs to pre-loaded.

The short versions that I know are:
auto            auto-install/enable
classes         auto-install/classes
domain          netcfg/get_domain
fb              debian-installer/framebuffer
file            preseed/file
hostname        netcfg/get_hostname
interface       netcfg/choose_interface
locale          debian-installer/locale
priority        debconf/priority
suite           mirror/suite
tasks           tasksel:tasksel/first
url             preseed/url
