eigrp load balancing

I am using variance command to do load balancing over unequal paths. But I see only one path in routing table and load balancing is not working.
Following is diagram:

                 /S0-R5-E1\
(200.0.0.2)R2-S0< >E0-R7---R8
                 \S0-R6-E0/

R2 has loopback 0 with address 200.0.0.2
R5,R6,R7 are runing EIGRP.
R2,R5,R6 are runing OSPF.
R5 and R6 are redistributing 200.0.0.2 in eigrp with different metric.
Prefered path is through R6.
I would like to loadbalance traffic from R7 to R5 & R6.
I am using R8 for testing becasue locally generated traffic on R7 may not work with load balancing.
I have CEF enabled on R7
I am using per packet load balancing.
Trace from R8 shows traffic going through R6. If I shutdown R6 ethernet then traffic goes though R5.

On R7 I have:
ip cef
router eigrp 1
 variance 3
 redistribute connected route-map conn2eigrp
 passive-interface Loopback0
 network 192.168.11.4 0.0.0.3
 network 192.168.100.0
 maximum-paths 6
 no auto-summary
!
!
interface Ethernet0
 ip address 192.168.100.7 255.255.255.0
 ip load-sharing per-packet
 half-duplex
end

prefered path is:

D EX 200.0.0.2 [170/2611200] via 192.168.100.6, 00:27:28, Ethernet0/0

if I shutdown interface 192.168.100.6 then I see other route which is following:

D EX 200.0.0.2 [170/2713600] via 192.168.100.5, 00:00:00, Ethernet0/0

Please help.
