Looking at this again, because I was trying to see which version you are 
using (i tried with rc0, internally, and came across a different issue)...

you don't need to do the 'add device' and I don't know what effect it 
might have *if* you do this.

I have also never tried to do a 'set-linkprop' for exclusive zones.

NWAM may be getting in the way. if you disable that, does it work?
Probably need to enable network/physical:default instead.

PS. because I play a lot with the Crossbow bits, I don't see all the 
changes post build 81 right now.
