[IAEP] [support-gang] Customization Sticks fails on 13.1.0 & 12.1.0 for XO-1

[Holt]

These Haiti's laptops are a mix of secured and unsecured XO-1s. They are 
Give1Get1 redonations, mostly running Release 10.1.3 untouched, we'll be 
upgrading on the ground in Haiti within days.

We'd love if the longstanding 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Customization_stick could be fixed on 13.1.0 
(worked like a charm less than a year ago) but yep that may not be 
possible this week.

Thanks Kevin & Tony for interim solutions-
