I get the same identical error in Kubuntu 9.10. I have the same Architecture, ProcVersionSign ature, Uname as the original submitter.
I'm using these packages:
usb-creator-common 0.2.12
usb-creator-kde 0.2.12
The last several lines of my ~/.usbcreator.log file are as follows:

TIA for looking into this. FWIW, when attempting to use the USB stick, it starts to boot, but hangs shortly after the UNR boot logo appears.
