I did get a response from Tony, and I'll post my reply to the list.

Tony, you were following the recipe at:
http://www.fabbnet.net/Live_Persistent.htm
which discusses doing this from Windows, using Rufus. I have only
ever done it from Linux, using fdisk and dd.

Do you have access to a Linux system you can create the Live USB from?
