Hello ! 

I am currently setting up an openvas dedicated machine to scan some of my 
company's lab networks. Since the number of networks are quiet significant I am 
using OMP to create tasks to openvas-manager. 

However, I have some problems creating the tasks I need. Currently, I create 
simple tasks with the following command:

omp -h 127.0.0.1 -u admin -w my_password --xml='
<create_task>
<name>Site Name</name>
<comment>Site VLAN</comment>
<config id="daba56c8-73ec-11df-a475-002264764cea"/>
<target id="my_task_id"/>
</create_task>'

This works fine. Now, I would like to tune this a little bit, like specifying 
the number of concurrent scans and number of simultaneous NVTs, so I do the 
following:

omp -h 127.0.0.1 -u admin -w my_password --xml='
<create_task>
<name>Site Name</name>
<comment>Site VLAN</comment>
<config id="daba56c8-73ec-11df-a475-002264764cea"/>
<target id="my_task_id"/>
<preferences>
       <preference>
         <name>Maximum concurrently executed NVTs per host</name>
         <scanner_name>max_checks</scanner_name>
         <value>4</value>
       </preference>
       <preference>
         <name>Maximum concurrently scanned hosts</name>
         <scanner_name>max_hosts</scanner_name>
         <value>20</value>
       </preference>
<preference>
</create_task>'

The command fails with the following error:

<create_task_response status_text="Bogus element: name" 
status="400"></create_task_response>

What exactly am I doing wrong here ?

thanks a lot !!
