Missing crawled properties for custom user profile properties

Question

I have 2 custom (RegionID and SalesID) in user profile. Both are populated with values. I reset the content index, made sure values are populated for these fields, did multiple full crawl. I made sure from CA that "metadata properties > category" people and sharepoint's bulk crawled property settings are checked for automatically generate a new managed property...

I see SalesID but no Managed property. For example, owsSalesID is not there for me to map it. RegionID does not even show up as a crawl property nor Managed property.

I went through the every single step (from here http://sharepointgeorge.com/2010/configuring-enterprise-search-sharepoint-2010) to make sure everything is properly configured.

What are my options now? Is there a powershell way to force add the crawl properties along with the Managed Property? If yes, how?

Any help will be appreciated. I am on this since Monday and it's not going anywhere.

Just added them manually using PS: Here is the code

Adding both Crawl and Managed Property

$searchapp = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication "Search Service Application" 
$category = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchMetadataCategory –Identity People -SearchApplication $searchapp
$crawledproperty = New-SPEnterpriseSearchMetadataCrawledProperty -SearchApplication $searchapp -Category $category -VariantType 31 -PropSet "00110329-0000-0110-c000-000000111146" -Name People:SalesID -IsNameEnum $false 
$managedproperty = New-SPEnterpriseSearchMetadataManagedProperty -SearchApplication $searchapp -Name SalesID -Type 1
New-SPEnterpriseSearchMetadataMapping -SearchApplication $searchapp -ManagedProperty $managedproperty -CrawledProperty $crawledproperty
