ox variable not set when it should be?

[Samuel Wales]

this must be user error, but i am not sure where.

i have:

(with-eval-after-load 'ox
  ;; a whole bunch of settings and defuns and stuff that
  ;; would cause compiler warnings if it were not after load ox
  (setq org-export-with-tasks nil))

and yet, when i export a subtree, the value of that variable (and the
others) are not what i set them to.  they are default.  the variable
is set in the ox library.
