System Image Utility 10.8 error -1 making netrestore image

[mac-support]

Hi folks,

Can't seem to fix this issue, so I'll turn to you to help.

Trying to make a net-restore image of 10.8 from new 'slim' imacs. I'm using System Image Utility v 10.8.2 (623), I'm running this locally ( rather than on the server ) on 10.8.2

I've run this I don't know how many times now, trying different ideas, but the end result is the same.

It errors while trying to created the system.dmg image.

The percent climbs to around 85-88 and then it errors with -1

I've run the same command externally from System Image utility and get the same error.

Running the HDIUTIL command in verbose shows the following:

I am able to create a netboot image ( of course this is a different process )

Any thoughts, as I'm almost out of ideas!

Thanks.

update..

if I remove the "-fsargs -c a=16384, c=8192,e=120" from the hdiutil command, then it completes successfully, but this doesn't exactly help me as I can't effect this inside System Image Utility..

full command line is:

/usr/bin/hdiutil create -verbose /Users/foo/Documents/foo -srcfolder /Volumes/Macintosh HD -fsargs '-c a=16384,c=8192,e=120' -format UDZO -uid 0 -gid 80 -mode 1755 -ov -puppetstrings
