It seems that if you have a Kickstart that has Scripts but the 
"Script Name" field is blank, then the clone function will fail.

Filling in the "Script Name" field for each kickstart script
will allow the kickstart to be cloned.

Perhaps "Script Name" should now be a required field in the
web GUI and not allowed to be blank.
