Is your script place in the direcory SCRIPTS relatively to the mount point of
the distribution?

And if so: You problem is that during the run of POST_SCRIPT (which is invoked
by yast1) the root of the system is not mounted on / but /mnt (so /var will 
be /mnrt/var). This means you have changed a file in the ram disk...

See prepare_alice to see how to handle different root mount points...
