You want to cover NetworkManager-gnome too, so either use the wildcard
or append that to the second option. (This rings a bell. I think I had
to use a wildcard.)

I'm a bit bothered by the umount failure in your paste. Are you using
akmods or anything like that (from rpmfusion)? If so, you might need the
following hack at the end of your kickstart file to avoid the
(intermittent) umount problem:

%post --nochroot
#hack to try to stop umount probs
while (/usr/sbin/lsof /dev/loop* 2>/dev/null | grep -v "$0" 2>/dev/null | grep -q "$INSTALL_ROOT")
do
	sleep 5s
done
%end

That's completely unrelated to the NetworkManager, though, so don't
worry about it unless you also hit this issue.
