Hiding "Shared" Sidebar in Mavericks

I've seen a few threads to do this, but I have not been successful yet. Currently I have a configuration profile that deploys a "Custom Settings" payload at the User Level. The custom settings payload has a preference domain of "com.apple.sidebarlists" and contains these settings:

{networkbrowser={CustomListItems=[], Controller=CustomListItems, CustomListProperties={com.apple.NetworkBrowser.backToMyMacEnabled=false, com.apple.NetworkBrowser.bonjourEnabled=false, com.apple.NetworkBrowser.connectedEnabled=false}}}

I can see that this plist is being deployed under /Library/Managed Preferences/<USERID>, but it appears to be ignored and the ~/Library/Preferences plist is the one taking effect. Does anyone see what I've missed or a better way to implement/enforce this setting?

Thanks
