If I recall correctly, when I make my sysrescue USB stick, I don't create anything. I just run the script. If I am updating it, I use dd to erase everything off the stick then run the script. I don't recall creating partitions or anything tho. I'm sure this will be figured out eventually. It's likely some small thing that makes a big difference. We have all been there before.
