TerrariaServer.exe -autocreate not working

I'm trying to start up TerrariaServer.exe with the -autocreate flag, and the command prompt starts the application just fine. The problem is, the application isn't autocreating the world. It prompts me for world size, world name, etc., ignoring the values I have saved to my serverconfig.txt file.

Full command: TerrariaServer.exe -config serverconfig.txt -autocreate

Serverconfig.txt file contents:

Code:
#this is an example config file for TerrariaServer.exe
#use the command 'TerrariaServer.exe -config serverconfig.txt' to use this configuration or run start-server.bat
#please report crashes by emailing crashlog.txt to [email protected]
