I have tracked down a more serious problem. The current version of usb- creator in jaunty beta tries to create the casper-rw file as one large block, when actually it should use a reasonable block size like 1k and then create right number of blocks. This is what is causing the "dd: invalid number" errors in ~/.usb-creator.log and causing the casper-rw file not to be created. If you surpass the 4 GB file size you will get a file too large error (or something like that). There are patches with this bug that should address both of these issues.
