I do not think that this can be done from a mac.

  I used a fully updated f16 gnome3-shell hard disk install to write the 
EFI USB
Run:
  "yum install livecd-tools" so it installs all the required
dependencies and  then use livecd-iso-to-disk

follow the instructions on :

  I doubt that the above would create an EFI boot USB, But I have not 
tried those methods.
  Only  EFI USB's written from the RC4 x86-64 Soas.iso will boot 
directly in my Mac.

I would be willing to send a 2 GB EFI USB to you to test If you like.  
Let me know where to send it.
