Having trouble PUTting profile variables in Watson Dialog service

I think this is actually two (related) problems. If I try to set profile variables in the Watson Dialog API via Postman, I don't get any errors (200 return code) but the variables don't get set. This is the data I'm sending:

{
  "client_id": 152008,
  "name_values":[ 
    {
      "name": "second",
      "value": "2"
    }]
}

and this is the answer I get:

{
  "client_id": 152008,
  "name_values": []
}

Doing a GET confirms that the variables were not set.

If I try to do it via dialog.updateProfile() in the watson-developer-cloud package using the same JSON, I get 

Error: Missing required parameters: name_values

instead.

Has anyone successfully set Watson Dialog profile variables? How did you do it?

The Dialog profile variable you wish to manipulate via the API needs to already exist in the Dialog XML file. You can not create a new Dialog profile variable via the API.
