This is a snippet of what I use in the tftp server side, adapt it to your needs:

label debian6_64
  menu label Install - ^Debian Wheezy 64
  kernel debian-installer/amd64/linux
  initrd debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz
  append locale=en_US.UTF-8 console-keymaps-at/keymap=es auto=true priority=critical url=http://10.0.0.2/preseed.cfg

Note it's not 'preseed/url', but 'url' alone.
Hope it's useful.
