Make sure you have the latest livecd-iso-to-disk.sh. I updated mine and it
worked ok but before I updated I had the same problem.

Check out this wiki info:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Talk:SoaS_Blueberry_Instructions

It's not clear when this script is updated and it seriously needs some
version information so folks will know if they have the right version. At
least make it match soas version.
