I think the -r isn't being passed down once queue has been established as the
switch on the command-line.

see line 560 of /usr/sbin/cast:

559: # cast the queue.
560: cast -c `cat $INSTALL_QUEUE 2>/dev/null`
561:

might want to export it right before line 560 or cleaner:

560: cast $RECONFIGURE -c `cat $INSTALL_QUEUE
2>/dev/null`
