My understanding is that the UUIDs are specific to a particular device. In
other words, unless you are imaging to the machine which served as the
golden client, the UUID will not match the device, and the grub install will
fail.
You can work around this by disabling the use of UUIDs by your OS. That
generally means editing your /etc/fstab to replace UUIDs with device paths,
and editing your /etc/default/grub to disable UUID support.
