Can't Parse Answer File

$

I am attempting to install Windows 7 Enterprise x64 via MDT 2012 Update 1. I have a task sequence that automates the build with applications and Windows Updates and then captures the OS. I then used that Wim file in a deployment task sequence. When Windows attempts setup, I receive the following error:

Windows could not parse or process unattend answer file [c:\windows\panter\unattend.xml] for pass [specialize]. A component or setting specified in the answer file does not exist.

I used the exact same process for my x86 build of Windows 7 without issue. Since MDT generates the unattend files for me, what could be the issue? Should I be looking for a problem in the unattend for the build or for the deployment? Below is the specialize pass from my deployment task sequence:
