When I have https://gist.github.com/368740 put in tasks/databag_dump_load.rake AND I use a knife.rb that includes knife[:aws_*] = 'foo' ala http://rubydoc.info/gems/knife-ec2/0.5.6/file/README.rdoc I get errors.

It's interesting that I'm even running rake with --trace and I don't get a stacktrace...

rake --trace

I'd like to find a way to construct those images from original sources and not depend on the etherboot.org blobs.
