In python, converting a string to a bool is going to return True if the string is not empty. It doesn't do what you think it does, by interpreting "True" to True.
Use an int instead: http://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/Maya-Tech-Docs/CommandsPython/optionVar.html#flagintValue That will convert from True/False to 1/0 and back again.
