I assume you are putting these files on the CD using root_overlay. I just ran 
into the same problem last night. When catalyst copies the files into the 
chroot, it copies them with the same permissions.

You have two options: 1) 'chown -R 1000:users' the stuff in the root_overlay dir 
(the first user created in the chroot will have the uid 1000), or 2) run 'chown 
-R youruser:users /home/youruser' in a fsscript.
