                        <MetaData wcm:action="add">                            <Key>/IMAGE/NAME</Key>                            <Value>Windows 7 ULTIMATE</Value>                        </MetaData>

Notice the "Value" part? Missing from yours...

BTW, RT7Lite is very old and no longer supported/developed.
