Defaults not stored

My screensaver follows examples I've seen as far as creating its defaults in its initWithFrame method:

    ScreenSaverDefaults*            defaults = [ScreenSaverDefaults defaultsForModuleWithName:MyModuleName];

    // Register our default values:
    fileMan = [[NSFileManager alloc] init];

    NSURL*              defaultURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"/Applications"];
    NSArray*            pictFolders = [fileMan URLsForDirectory:NSPicturesDirectory inDomains:NSUserDomainMask];

    if(pictFolders != nil && [pictFolders count] > 0)
        defaultURL = [[pictFolders objectAtIndex:0] filePathURL];

    [defaults registerDefaults:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                defaultURL, kImageFolderPathPrefKey,
                                [NSNumber numberWithInteger:NSOnState], kUsePolaroidBorderPrefKey,
                                nil]];

Then later in my startAnimation method I grab that value, but it's nil:

    ScreenSaverDefaults*    defaults = [ScreenSaverDefaults defaultsForModuleWithName:MyModuleName];
    NSURL*                  url = [defaults URLForKey:kImageFolderPathPrefKey];

I tried calling [defaults synchronize] after registerDefaults, but that didn't help. I also tried creating a mutable dictionary and adding the url and integer via setObject:forKey:. No matter which method I use to create the defaults, I can definitely *see* the url in the defaults object, but it comes out nil when I ask for URLForKey. If I actually go through the System Preferences window and set my screen saver's prefs from there, then the url comes out as a valid value.

What am I doing wrong?
