you may want to try something like this in you %pre

# copy the files to the system root so they are accessible in %post
while : ; do
    logger "sleeping for kickstartfiles mount to be available"
    sleep 10
    if [ -d /mnt/sysimage/root ]; then
        cp -a /tmp/foo /mnt/sysimage/tmp/foo
        # store the installer args
        cat /proc/cmdline > /mnt/sysimage/installed-version
        logger "Copied kickstartfiles to system"
        break
    fi
done &

PS are you me? I'm currently debugging a centos5 kickstart migration
to centos6? :)

PPS apparently 'seq' doesn't exist in the centos6 install image.

PPPS and the default env of %pre is /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash

PPPPS I hope this info helps.
