Ryan, it sounds like you are going to be disappointed in this 'maximum' color separation too.
Open the file up, and you will see that this one is not 'maximum' for small numbers of line colors. Depending on how you quantify color separation, even large numbers of line colors could be argued to be non-maximum in some metrics.
I suspect CMAPLINE provides results more in line with your desires.
