I did a test and this actually worked perfectly for me. Is there any chance that you have set those user and date fields to default to the current user in the current date respectively?
I added a second rule to blank out those fields and the only trick was I had to create a helper field called [Null User] which was a formula user field with no formula so that the form rule number two could reset the user to the value in the field [Null User].
