Hi,
I have updated the doc
http://gparted.org/create-gparted-live.php
However, it's easier to use this method to include the packages you want:

Re: Create GParted live from scratch ?

I can not reproduce the issue you mentioned. What's the command you run for step 17?
If it still fails, I would suggest you can use this method:
http://gparted.org/add-packages-in-gparted-live.php
It will be easier.
