Well, the code from livecd/runscript/default-runscript.sh responsible
for this little snippet is:

        # move over the motd (if applicable)
        if [ -n "${clst_livecd_motd}" ]
        then
            cp -a ${clst_livecd_motd} ${clst_chroot_path}/etc/motd
        else
            ...
        fi

It should be copying your file verbatim.

Are you seeing any error messages?
