Thanks Blackcanopy, you give me way too much credit. :)

Glad you're sticking with it too EO. We really appreciate it. We are getting mighty thin on good people here as most of them have moved on to newer devices and we really can't afford to lose someone like you. A few have stepped up and have really made a difference and that really helps too. :cool:

Ok I have several questions:

For my own reference, can you tell me a little about what these scripts are and what they do please?

system/etc/init.d/13perms

system/etc/init.d/17boot

system/xbin/fix_permissions

I see that they modify permissions but was wondering if it were maybe causing some issue with JB.

This is what I've found so far. I cannot seem to flash this successfully on a fully running rom, even running with a pure stock kernel and tried flashing with several safe cwm kernels. I only have a few mods installed but none of them are tweaks of any sort.

It DOES work with a stock install. Permissions seem to be set properly also.

My next test will be to revert all mods to stock to see if any of them are causing the conflict because I know a lot of users are running them.

I've gone as far as setting the permissions for every file manually.

Double-check my script and let me know if something is out of place:
