OO config_tool.bat -i silent not using exportPassword value

Hi all, 

I have been looking at automating the Sitescope managed backup. 
Yes, we have VM backups but an individual sitescope config backup to a zip file was perfect. 
Very simple right,
1) Copy the example configtoolparams.txt and change it as you need to. 
2) Run <sitescope_bin_dir>\config_tool.bat -i silent -f <custom_text_config\configtoolparams.txt>

However no matter what I do the exportPassword= parameter in the <custom_text_config\configtoolparams.txt> is completely ignored. 
The zip file is created as expected BUT with no password (not even the the default password). 
We are running Sitescope 23.4

Is there something I am doing wrong? 

Thanks
Terry
