	mkdir() fails with EEXIST, rather than ENOTDIR, if the last component
of the path is a regular file.

	The problem is your kickstart:

  if [ "$(uname -i)" = "i386" -o "$(uname -i)" = "x86_64" ]; then
    cp /usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk $LIVE_ROOT/LiveOS
  fi

	Try:

  if [ "$(uname -i)" = "i386" -o "$(uname -i)" = "x86_64" ]; then
    mkdir -p $LIVE_ROOT/LiveOS/
    cp /usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk $LIVE_ROOT/LiveOS/
  fi

Cheers,
Mark.
