Strange, what you changed here, Daniel ?

You should copy it to the "/" (root) of a partition that resides on a block 
device, and casper (and hence live-initramfs) should take care of resync on 
reboot or when you call casper-snapshot with the "resync string" that will be 
added on boot in /etc/casper.conf. (only if booted with the "persitent" boot 
param).

As a crontab you could just call casper-snapshot with the correct resync 
string or with right parameters.
