Oh I see, you are worrying that I'm not making the change I think I'm making.

I have /system mounted from an ext2 partition which I change to rw using "mount -o rw,remount /system"

Even not using an ext2 partition, if you want to make changes to system.sqsh you just need to unpack (outside of android on a linux box) with unsquashfs, make changes, and repack with mksquashfs.
