Creating USB from OSX

$

I'm trying to create a UBCD on a USB from my mac for a Windows 7 PC but the PC wont boot from the USB.
I have the bios set to boot from the usb, and I've been booting successfully to Ubuntu live and windows7 recovery via usb.

To make the USB I did the following:

I converted the iso to an img:
Code:
hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o ./ubcd533.img ./ubcd533.iso


I inserted my USB, got the disk number(5) and then unmounted it. I tried to overwrite the drive via:

Code:
dd if=./ubcd533.img.dmg of=/dev/rdisk5 bs=1m


I've had luck with this method making my ubuntu live usb and the windows7 recovery usb, but no dice with UBCD.

Whats up with this?
