[Casper] Casper Imaging Errors

[Tatian Greenleaf]

I was seeing the same two errors, but Jamf Support was able to find the
cause of one, and I figured out the other:
Error parsing XML: This was due to an incorrect password stored in the
autorun data for the computer I was imaging.  I had changed a JSS account
password.  The solution was to delete the autorun data in the JSS.

NilObjectException:  According to Jamf Support, this is caused when a
non-deployable package is part of a configuration in Casper Admin.  The
solution is to remove/delete the non-deployable package from that config and
then try it again.  I haven't verified this yet, but it sounds likely since
the only thing I had changed was to make a deployable package
non-deployable.
