Same issues here:

Fortunately, the livecdtools are up to date, and the kickstarts are in 
their own package now (spin-kickstarts).

I was able to customize a released kickstart file to my old 
specifications and ended up with a customized live DVD that is 
installable and installs my customizations as well.

Cool stuff, and kudos to the team for keeping up.

here is how I used it:

sudo livecd-creator --cache=/src/yum-cache --config=dev-10-x86_64 
--fslabel=Fedora_Developer

where dev-10-x86_64 is my highly customized kickstart.

by using a specific cache directory I didn't have to re-download all 
1800 packages every time I tested changes to the kickstart scripts -- 
and it took me a few times! :)

Good luck!
