I have no experience with the flv encoder, but if the general VBV rules 
apply to it, it makes no sense to do both of these things at the same time:

1. enable VBV rate control

2. set maxrate == minrate

You are giving conflicting instructions to the encoder.

Have you tried removing -minrate parameter from the command line?
