ConfigMgr 2012 / MDT 2013 - Dynamic Packages and Applications issue

[pseudoyams]

Hi All-

Im having an issue with getting Dynamic Applications and Packages to be installed during the TS. I had it working fine last week but it just seemed to stop and Im kinda at ends here. So, where Im at now is that I can execute the dbo.RetrieveApplications and dbo.RetrievePackages SPs with the computer's MAC and it lists off all of the applications and packages to be installed. In the ztigather.log file it also picks up both applications and packages and assigned them variables:

(But, this is a step after the Packages should be reinstalled). However, it just seems to skip completely over the steps to install the Packages and Applications that use base variables. Screenshots of the two steps are attached. Id appreciate any help anybody could provide. Not sure where to go from here as everything seems right to me. Though, Ive only been using MDT for a couple weeks here.

Something screwy is going on here. I just disabled the Install Software Updates task just to speed up the imaging for testing. After doing that the dynamic application and package installation started working. I havent re-enabled it yet, but its been working fine since.
