Please accept my apologies.
There was only one solution to the puzzle my program created (I checked).
Unfortunately my program's output was slightly different to any of the standard ways this site uses to accept puzzles so I had to copy it manually and I made one mistake.
I'm going to see how easy it is to correct my entry but I will not submit any more until I have changed my program to produce output which looks like the puzzles on this site.

Your corrected puzzle does indeed only have a single solution.

This puzzle has an SE rating of 1.5, so just slightly more difficult than the easiest SE rating (which is 1.2 for what I accept as a valid puzzle).
