When and where do you call devpath.exe then? I only see you copy the directory.
I also see one problem with putting this in doit_cmds; normally (as
far as I see it) doit_cmds is being generated by unattended if there
is no value pre-defined, and what ends up in it depends on which OS
you chose to install (winxpsp2 in your case). Is there not something
that is executed before the setup (something that is not doit_cmds)?
