Miles,

Would you mind posting your preflight script?

You're not.  I've encountered this same issue, and on investigation, some machines were coming out of the factory with odd drive formats.  That's why I suggested the diskutil preflight script.  It's what I used to solve the problem.

>The Erase HD option in CASPER does not seem to be sufficient, but if we use DISK Utility they go. What is the difference?

The difference between Casper and Disk Utility is that Casper erases an existing partition (like the "Erase" tab in Disk Utility).  With diskutil, you can repartition, creating the correct partition setup (like the "Partition tab in Disk Utility).

I hope this helps.
