ETL Metadata Injection problems running in kitchen

I have a job which executes successfully when run in Spoon, but fails when executed in kitchen.bat. I've traced the error to a Text File Input step that has field attributes passed by ETL Metadata Injection. Field names preceding the ETL Metadata Injection step are fine, but are "missing" after execution of the Text File Input step. Furthermore, the Text File Input step reads the correct number of records, but field names are null.

Does anyone know if this is a known issue or have an idea for a work around?

Thanks,
