net user options in a batch file

ok, after all this time, i had to change the script to add the following options:
user cannot change password, and password never expires. here is what i have figured out.

net user ons1 #!wdfons1 /add /expires:never /passwordchg:no

the result of this is the line saying the comand completed successfully, it adds the user,
however when i look at the user properties, i see that the user cannot change
password selection is marked, but the password nerver expires box is not
marked.

i am running this on windows 2000 server

what have i done wrong now. microsoft website was no help, it said to do exactly what i have done. i figured it was time to consult the experts, so i am asking Geeks To Go any help would be greatly appreciated.
