I think you have the "%include /tmp/packagelist" in the wrong place.  It 
wants to in the "%packages" section:

...
%packages --resolvedeps
@ Base
%include /tmp/packagelist

%pre
(
awk -F "packages=" '{print $2}' /proc/cmdline |sed 's/,/\n/g'  > 
/tmp/packagelist
) 2>&1 | tee -a /tmp/ks-pre.log
%post
...

Good luck!
