[Casper] Imaging Issues with new Intel Mac Books

[Weber, Jason]

Ok, we figured it out..

Turns out to image the new MacBooks with 10.5.2 you need a 10.5.2 NetBoot
image, the JAMF server on 10.5.2, and obviously pushing the 10.5.2 image to
any new Macs.

Once we upgrade the server as well as the NetBoot image to 10.5.2 things are
now working. 

We originally started with the server at 10.5.1 as well as the NetBoot image
at 10.5.1

We first upgraded the server to 10.5.2 earlier this week, but were unable to
pull any images down to the new MacBooks until the Netboot image was redone
at 10.5.2
