OK, I understand.

But to facilitate the self-contained ability to clone the Live CD image, we should verify that our released version of the script works.

The soas04.iso version does not work, because of the missing /sbin/blkid file used on the following line:
USBLABEL="UUID=$(/sbin/blkid -s UUID -o value $USBDEV)" (on disc, changed on 2009-06-17 [1])
USBLABEL="UUID=$(/lib/udev/vol_id -u $USBDEV)" (needed)

In order to enable the self-contained ability to clone a Live USB image, we (Fedora) should add a line to copy the livecd-iso-to-disk shell script to the newly installed image. Then each SoaS installation would carry this versatile cloning tool innately with it, wherever it went.

I've submitted this enhancement request, https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ticket/625.
