I have a similar problem (/var/lib/fai doesn't exist in the aufs system) 
with a squeeze nfsroot built from fai 3.3.5 experimental (Lenny), and 
the patch does not fit in live-initramfs 2.0.0-1 that is installed in 
the nfsroot, as there is no script 05mountpoints.

I have tried to insert your patch in live-bottom/08persistence_excludes, 
as you can see below, but it doesn't work. Do you have an idea of what I 
could do to make it work?
