Anyone done the Aura HD dual boot thing?

I'm trying to set it up, but running into a snag at the backup stage. Here's what I've done (3 times)...

1) I wrote the 2014-02-28 image from Angor to an 8GB card using imaging tool from Angor's blog

2) Using MiniTool partition wizard I added the 1GB of unallocated space to the KOBO EXTSD partition

3) inserted card into Aura HD, device sees card fine and KOBO EXTSD can be accessed fine when HD is connected to PC.

4) Connected HD to PC and extracted & copied over KoboRoot.tgz from fix-udev-tgz.zip to .kobo folder on HD's internal memory (tried 2nd download of the file when it didn't seem to work the first two times)

5) Ejected HD and unplugged from PC. Device goes to Restarting screen (black w/ restarting in bottom left) then device goes to white screen with five outlined squares in the center. First three squares fill in fairly quickly and then the Kobo home screen shows up. No 15ish min. backup takes place.

6) Connect device to PC and KoboRoot.tgz is gone from .kobo folder. No folder called .KoboBackup and no file called KoboFirmware.img exist anywhere.

I'm sure I'm probably missing something, but can't figure it out. I've been following the instructions posted here...
