Could you try:
# yum install plymouth\*
# plymouth-set-default-plugin fade-in (or some other one)
# /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-update-initrd
And redo the reboot.
If the splash changes then youre on the right lines, if not then make sure
you're booting into the kernel you just made the initrd for.
Are you booting using a special renamed initrd?

What's the output of
ls -l /usr/lib*/plymouth/default.so
?
Can you add
set -x
to the top of
/usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-populate-initrd
(which gets run by mkinitrd)
and then attach the output of running
plymouth-update-initrd
?

oh so silly found the problem. I had copied the images into a backup
directory "bk" seems if there are any subdirectories mkinitrd doesn't
copy the images.
Which brings me to my next question. How did you tell mkinitrd to
include the images in the first place? I've very new to the mkinitrd
and want to make a PXE version of a liveCD in the new year (if I ever
get around to it)
It will help me out later down the road.
Thanks for all the help,
Michael

Ah, glad you found the issue.

mkinitrd calls plymouth-populate-initrd. plymouth-populate-initrd copies
all the files (but as you found out not directories) in
/usr/share/plymouth/<plugin-name>/ to the initrd.
The livecd actually uses mkliveinitrd not mkinitrd which is a similar
but more generic script.
