My first thoughts on debugging this would be to comment out the 3
"target.teardown()" calls at the bottom of livecd-creator, and then
rerun and do an ls -l on that permission denied file.
Maybe there should be a very hidden debugging option to disable the
teardown at exception?
You will of course have to manually unmount a bunch of loopback mounted
filesystems after doing that.
