Sorry for the confusion, the base of the file system is sometimes called
the "root" denoted by '/'.  I didn't mean the /root folder, which is the
home folder for the root user. From within the running SoaS image, it is
mounted on the /mnt/live/ folder.  For example, this command,

   ls -la /mnt/live/

will display the contents of the "root" directory of the USB device
partition, while

   ls -la /

will display the contents of the "root" of the live image filesystem
(in the squashfs.img file that was loaded on installation of the live
image).

That would explain the missing file message.

Thanks for testing!
