Ah, simple then.

It sounds like you've assigned your IP's and network info to system 
objects, and are passing a /profile/ name to koan, perhaps?

This means that the profile object itself has no idea what those 
variables should be.

Try passing in the system instead, or optionally use a DHCP kickstart 
for profile based deployments.   (Using Cheetah games, if you like, you 
can detect that the ip isn't set and fall back to DHCP... though
I'm not sure if you want that.   I'm throwing it out there though).
