Problem with updater-scripts - Android

When some people flash my ROM they get no signal after first boot and certain things don't work right. Manually mounting /system after wiping and before installing my ROM seems to prevent this from happening. I've tried a couple different update-binaries with no luck. My scripts don't seem any different from other cooks scripts that never fail.
Here's my current script. Any help would be much appreciated.
Code:
show_progress(0.1, 0);
mount("MTD","userdata","/data");
format("MTD", "system");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

I had similar problems with my ROM until I changed the mounts and format to this. For some reason they don't work well with CWM V3. Not sure what ROM you are building so you will need to change the /dev/block/ to your mount points. These are for the HTC Incredible
Code:
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mtdblock3", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1", "/data");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2", "/cache");
ui_print("Removing Old System...");
delete_recursive("/system");
delete_recursive("/cache");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache/");

It's a Gingerbread Sense ROM for the Desire HD, so yeah, using CWR v3. I made new scripts with the latest version of dsixda's kitchen which look like this and seem to be much more reliable:
Code:
format("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25");
mount("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25", "/system");
package_extract_file("check_data_app", "/tmp/check_data_app");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/check_data_app");
run_program("/tmp/check_data_app");
mount("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p26", "/data");
...
unmount("/system");
unmount("/data");
I'm kind of a dummy when it comes to file systems and mounting. Even though it seems to be working now, if you notice anything inherently wrong with my new way of mounting and formatting please let me know. I'm a bit curious about whether my script should be mounting/formatting as ext3 or ext4. The build.prop actually has a line that reads "ro.ext4fs = 1", but we only have leaked Gingerbread kernels with no source so I don't know what's going on in there.
