[rhn-users] kickstart post scripts always ignored

Lately I have been having problems getting stuff to run in the %post
section in my kickstarts.  I never use to have a problem running %post
stuff but lately I have tried multiple times to use a kickstart file
and have it perform tasks in the %post section but everytime I try it
fails to run anything in %post.  Below is a paste of a ks.cfg file I
have tried using.  Does anyone see anything wrong with this?  The
runlevels, nor users never get created and it never runs my mounted
script.

Thanks,
Nick Baronian
