dumb bindings/user defaults question

Greetings:

I am working on a document based app, and I'm using the user defaults 
bindings mechanism.  I created a plist with the relevant key/value 
combination (basically a string for a key and an int that corresponds 
to the key).  I loaded this as factory defaults, and created several 
keys that can be reset by the user.

In my app I created a text field bound to one of these keys in the 
user defaults.  This works fine.

I decided it was better to put this on a separate preferences panel. 
I created a panel in the MainMenu.nib and placed the text field bound 
the same way on that panel (SharedUserDefaults -> values.myKey)  The 
panel is bound to the Preferences menu item (makeKeyAndOrderFront).

However, the initial values do not appear when the preference panel 
is loaded.  I can use my factory defaults button or my revert button 
and this populates the field with values, and I can change them, 
apply the changes, etc.

If I change the values, apply it, then reload it, the CHANGED values 
appear, but still not the initial/factory ones.

Anyone have an idea what I might be missing?  Here is my initialize 
method (straight from the docs)

+ (void)initialize
{
   [MyDocument setupDefaults];
}


+ (void)setupDefaults
{
    NSString *userDefaultsValuesPath;
    NSDictionary *userDefaultsValuesDict;
    NSDictionary *initialValuesDict;
    NSArray *resettableUserDefaultsKeys;
   
    // load the default values for the user defaults
    userDefaultsValuesPath=[[NSBundle mainBundle] 
pathForResource:@"UserDefaults"
                                                         ofType:@"plist"];
    userDefaultsValuesDict=[NSDictionary 
dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:userDefaultsValuesPath];
   
    // set them in the standard user defaults
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] 
registerDefaults:userDefaultsValuesDict];
   
    resettableUserDefaultsKeys=[NSArray 
arrayWithObjects:@"myKey1",@"myKey2",@"myKey3",nil];
    initialValuesDict=[userDefaultsValuesDict 
dictionaryWithValuesForKeys:resettableUserDefaultsKeys];
   
    [[NSUserDefaultsController sharedUserDefaultsController] 
setInitialValues:initialValuesDict];
}

Thanks.
