Special prefs like sourceselect don't take a default value. But the  
value you entered there is probably the correct one to to  
search_sources and search_fields. The search_sources value should  
probably look like:
"localsql\tlocalsql:1a89188eccac15f4be58847c6ff09574"

But why don't you simply copy the value from the preference table of  
the user that set the sources manually successfully?
