EIGRP load balancing

I could never get this to work. I have one router with two unequal EIGRP EX
paths to a destination. The FD is 261120 and the the distance through the FS
is 386560. Now, in my routing tables, I only have route the route with
distance 261120.

If I read correctly, by entering the variance command, I would load-balance
over unequal paths. If I enter variance 2 under my router configuration,
shouldn't the router place both routes in my routing tables as 386560 is less
than 2x261120?

As CCO states for the variance command: "The multiplier times the local best
metric for the destination must be greater than or equal to the metric through
the next router"

Looking for clarification...

James
