[Casper] Netinstall Image Creator Problem

[Danny Lee]

I ran the Capser Netinstall app on our netboot/Casper server.   The 
netboot images and Casper packages are on a mounted X-raid volume.  I 
pointed the Casper Netinstall app at an old  10.5.3 image and Casper 
Imaging 6.1 and had it dump the nbi folder onto  the NetbootSP0.  I'd do 
this and it would take some maybe twenty minutes to do it's thing where 
it looks like it's creating the dmg but it's apparently not as the dmg 
is like 48mb instead of 12gigs.  Once it's done, it asks for the admin 
password which I provide.  Thereafter the nbi folder exists but all 
there is within it is a plist file as the dmg mysteriously disappears.

For example, I keep all my nbi files on a separate partition over the OS.  So if I need to wipe the OS then the netboot is still right there.
