You may have multiple problems with this setup:


Googlebot doesn't send an "accept language" header. You need to handle this case somehow. One way would be to show a page that has links to both versions. Alternately, you could redirect to the default (probably Dutch) version.
Your redirects need to be 301 permanent. You may have implemented the redirects as 302 temporary redirects. This can cause Google to index the content under the wrong URL.
Because you are using a .nl domain, your content (even the English content) will only ever ranking in the Netherlands. If you want your content to rank in other countries, you need to to get a generic top level domain from Google's list of geotargetable domains.
