I spoke with you briefly in channel yesterday, I'm not really a formal
dev but didn't want to leave you hanging here.

It looks like much of your script is very similar to many of the steps
defined on: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization

Have you reviewed this to see if there are discrepancies that may be
accounting for the failure?

I'll give it a try this evening (west coast US) to see what I can come up with.
