I mentioned in a prior mail that I'm a bit annoyed by this as well.  I may whip 
up a simple patch allowing args to livecd-creator to throw in extra directories.

For now, I think the best way is to use the --shell option, and then do 
something like 'ls -altr /var/tmp/livecd-creator*' to find the installation root 
to copy your files into.  But NOTE- you would have to do this in ANOTHER 
terminal, because in the shell livecd-creator gives you, you are stuck in the 
chroot.

I haven't tested the above, but I think it should work.
