Did you happen to try writing a directdisk image to the usb stick to see if that would boot? That might be another option. I prefer the hddimg over the ddimg, as the hddimg can easily be mounted with -o loop and modified, but if ddimg works, it's a fair bit easier than having to deal with the USB-ZIP mode.
