Thanks, Geza, for your very quick response and feedback.
If that indeed is the issue, that's still a point for unetbootin to improve: discover the non-admin condition, display a clear warning to the user and (maybe) even refuse to run.
The problem with my current Live CDs is, that they're rather old, and I may not be able to install unetbootin into them. It's even more complicated: my locked-down WinXP doesn't let me use the (working) builtin CD burner. My b0rken HP notebook not only has a b0rken harddisk, but also a b0rken CD writer, and it is not allowed to connect the company network and access the internet through the company firewall.
Geza,
have you got any idea, if I could fix the crippled USB sticks created on Win XP a posteriori by running some magic isolinux commands from a Live CD environment?
(P.S.: I'll create a new bug which better describes the real issue at hand...)
