Hmm,
Your issue/fix is linked to the generation of the password_hash file while ggeilman has *also* problem even whe he provides the password in plain text inside USERDATA so there is more to it.

What about
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow HiddenUsersList -array short_name_of_user_to_hide

Is that what you are looking for?

And if you want to know what was wrong in your script, you need to use $3 as your mount point of your destination volume not / which is the booted volume. So your script should have look like this
dscl . -create $3/Users/infores
dscl . -create $3/Users/infores home $3/Users/infores
…
When you install a script via a package the target voilume of your package is passed by the installer to your script as $3.

Give a man a fish…

When trying the highly *not recommanded by the author* method of putting the password in plain text I think you need to remove the password_hash file from the package, did you try that? As far as for the *author recommanded method” did you follow the instructions in the README file step by step? It worked for me (and others) perfectly so I am afraid my thoughts are going to some human error and hopefully for you I am right 😉
