You're missing the '-p' option:

   -p       When used with the ADD command, makes a route persistent across
            boots of the system. By default, routes are not preserved
            when the system is restarted. Ignored for all other commands,
            which always affect the appropriate persistent routes. This
            option is not supported in Windows 95.

Note that I've ever tried it, but I guess it hides things away in the 
registry, once you use it.  You could add something and search for it, if 
you're interested in what happens afterwards.
