If this is doing what I think it's doing (sorry, no time to double-check now, so take the following with a grain of salt), the script is running at the "bottom" phase of the initramfs. At this point in time, the root file system is mounted on /root[1] (so I'd expect your file to appear later as /test.txt, after the file system's root has been "pivot"ed), and it is mounted read-only, so I'd expect the script to fail. The least you'd have to do (if all my theories are correct) would be to remount whatever is mounted on /root as read-write. [1] The root file system (i.e. the one mounted on /) at this moment is a RAM file system (whatever got unpacked from the initramfs image) while the system tries to figure out what device to actually use as root.
