After the seed file execution is complete (and beyond even preseed _late_default) /etc/network/interfaces is being overwritten by the finish-install process.That means that the custom /e/n/i file generated and put in place by post_install_network_config_deb is simply wiped out. You're

Okay, here's what I'm running into now... I have a system that I just rebuilt as my host server. Everything built without a hitch. However, now, I've added a distro, two profiles, and a system. The system definition ends up in the dhcp config file but the sync process does NOT build the PXE

Yeah, I perhaps could've been more clear: finish-install belongs to the debian installer - not part of cobbler. finish-install runs *after* the preseed file is all said and done with but before the system is rebooted. By the time preseed is done so is Cobbler's ability to have any further

Check next_server in /etc/cobbler settings, restart xinetd, add -v (or -vv or -vvv) to /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file, what is in /var/lib/tftp/pxelinux.cfg? Is there a file with the mac address in this dir? Check logging in /var/log/messages... All this should give you an idea of what is going on.
