Network profile overwrites my wpa_supplicant.conf

After a good bit of trial an error, I have finally been able to connect to my WPA AP using wpa_supplicant.  However whenever I use network profiles, WPA supplicant fails to connect and I find that /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file is now zero bytes.  Everything works perfectly when I connect manually from the command line.

Here are a copy of my profile and wpa_supplicant.conf.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Re: Network profile overwrites my wpa_supplicant.conf

wpa_supplicant.conf is only over-written when using the profile menu.  If I start the profile directly, everything works.
