In your operator config.txt is your TSK: \Windows\whatever.tsk line at the very end (well not at the end but right before the lock release and sd config lines), or at least after the CFG: \Windows\Manila.txt line?

I also can't get it to work unless you break it out all the images. So i make an EXT package at the end of my kitchen that includes the tsk (which has all the reg entries and the two background images you are going to replace, in my case stwater_640_480.jpg and stwater_480_640.jpg) and put all the other images for the theme into the ext package itself, not the tsk.

I never have a problem using these steps.. and this way I always have flamerise to fallback on if I want it..

Of course you could also replace flamerise completely by removing it from the sys (the tsk and its broken out images)..
