Ron Z, that's not the case for my experience with this bug (corrupt files already there somehow)--it's clearly a shutdown issue for me & have seen this elsewhere, too.

btw,
As for the flash drive, if I have a working, bootable flash drive (e.g., live persistent Kubuntu 7.10), I clone it easily with a one-liner dd command:
dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdd conv=noerror,notrunc
(sdc is the working UFD to be cloned; sdd is the empty, identical UFD; you can specify any bs=Block_Size other than the default bs=512 (bytes); etc., as you probably already know :) )
That copies everything, including the boot mechanism (e.g., GRUB in MBR of sdc pointing at the installed OS on sdc) => sdd is ready to boot.
