trouble building F16 ami on meta-appliance

[sean darcy]

Thanks for the suggestion, but no luck. It failed with permissions 
issues. Odd since I'm running as root on the boxgrinder EC2 appliance.

Also, it seems to be grabbing the F15 kernels.

cat f16.appl
name: f16
os:
   name: fedora
   version: 16

  boxgrinder-build f16.appl -p ec2 -d ebs
