Unable to image a 10.8 InstallESD.dmg file

Okay this is driving me crazy. I am hoping that someone can help me out here. I have a center with over 150 macs and they have for the most part all been upgraded using a disk of the installesd.dmg and walking around to  each machine. Now on snow leopard, leopard, and lion we took the media put it in the drive and did the quick start - svn checkout http://instadmg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk instadmg sudo ./instadmg/AddOns/InstaUp2Date/importDisk.py --automatic --legacy and sudo ./instadmg/AddOns/InstaUp2Date/instaUp2Date.py 10.6_vanilla --process   So I ran into a number of problems with I did this on a 10.8 mountain lion machine 1) I could not svn in bash it says its unknwon. I can do this in lion and snow leopard so I went to a snow leopard and did the svn command and then moved the media to the mountain lion. 2) then I could not do the second command. I read forums and they indicated with 10.8 you don't have to if you take the InstallESD.dmg and put it in the BaseOS folder so I did that. 3) Then I could not do the last line until I made my own catalog file. Again I made it out of things out on the net (https://github.com/n8felton/Mac-OS-X-Scripts/blob/master/InstaDMG/CatalogFiles/10.8_vanilla.catalog) and then I put that with the other catalogs. then it downloaded but then it failed at where it is supposed to find the InstallESD.dmg file Just in case I also copied it to my snow lepoard machine and I ran the same command and it failed there as well. basically it parses the catalog, finds and validates the sources for the java at Finding the Installer disk is where it fails- Parsing the catalog files for 10.8_vanilla             Java for OS X 2012-004   Finding and validating the sources for 10.8_vanilla             Java for OS X 2012-004 - found based on checksum and verified in less than one secondMegabytes/sec)   Finding the Installer disc for 10.8_vanilla Traceback (most recent call last):   File "./AddOns/InstaUp2Date/instaUp2Date.py", line 716, in <module>     main()   File "./AddOns/InstaUp2Date/instaUp2Date.py", line 678, in main     foundInstallerDiscs = findInstallerDisc.findInstallerDisc(allowedBuilds=thisController.installerDiscBuilds)   File "/Users/usrmm02/instadmg/AddOns/InstaUp2Date/Resources/findInstallerDisc.py", line 201, in findInstallerDisc     raise commonExceptions.FileNotFoundException('Unable to find OS Installer disc in any provided folder: %s%s' % (str(searchItems), folderString)) Resources.commonExceptions.FileNotFoundException: Unable to find OS Installer disc in any provided folder: ['/Users/usrmm02/instadmg/InstallerFiles/InstallerDiscs', '/Users/usrmm02/instadmg/InstallerFiles/BaseOS'] (['.DS_Store', '.svn', 'InstallESD.dmg'], ['.DS_Store', '.svn'])  Any ideas on why installesd.dmg is not being found when its in the directories being searched?
