Look like a problem with changing to an non defined directory.

Try if
# livecd-creator --config=/full/path/to/livecd-rhel5-base-desktop.ks

is working.

if it work you can replace
os.chdir(dirname)

with
if dirname:
     os.chdir(dirname)

Then it will only change directory if a full path is definded.
