Is it perhaps a dyld library cache issue? The local Casper tools seem to be susceptible to those, if there is any mismatch. What does the error specifically say?
i don't think it's that. i'll fire it up and check again. the tools work fine when booted to a partition with the net boot set installed, just not from the net booted image itself.
the apps throw a bunch of these. they all seem similar, related to drawing a window.

So, this is just a standard Netboot OS, full operating system, Finder, etc, right? I haven't seen that error before to my knowledge. Not really sure what would cause that.
right, it's basically a full desktop environment. i need to work out some other issues with it, but the error applies to using the casper tools only.
any jamf folks care to weigh in?
yup. it's using a RAM disk right now, but i need to tweak it to avoid "out of disk" errors.
followup to this:
i re-re-downloaded the 8.6 tools, replaced the previous copy, and casper imaging worked fine.
i have no idea what was wrong with the earlier download. each dmg had a different creation date, so…
if you run into this, try grabbing a fresh copy.
also, the 8.6 tools used within a 10.8 netboot set to image a machine via jss running 8.22 seemed fine. it's probably "unsupported," but it worked.
