first, try the md5sum check. if there's errors, reformat the first partition as ext2, and try unetbootin again. it might work.
if not-- have you tried the make-live-device.sh script? or do you just want unetbootin to do the job for you? if you're interested in a learning experience, you could try manually installing it to usb, you'll learn how to do what unetbootin does in a sense. i was able to walk a friend through it over the phone, so i bet you can do it. i'd be willing to help.
