Make sure syslog is setup to log to the Management Node from your node. Test with logger.
On the Management Node tail -f /var/log/messages Run updatenode <yournode> -V -P syslog Look for the below message in /var/log/messages. If this fails you will not get the mypostscript file built correctly. Aug 16 07:27:47 <your MN> xCAT: xCAT: Allowing getpostscript from <yournode> Lissa K.

There is no section in the autoyast file that cointains the lines which generates the run_ps() subroutine so of course they are not executed. In fact I cannot find traces of run_ps in any of the script samples in /opt/xcat/share/xcat/install.
