I had this bug on 11.04 too.

I had to enter my password 3 times.
You have to stay the whole time at the pc to create a live usb stick. If you don't enter the password for creating the bootloader at the end in time, the whole creation fails and you have to start creating again.

Please improve the behaviour, e.g.:

- The user should enter his password at the beginning once. Then the creation should finish automatically without additional password prompts.

-> Unetbootin for example can do this with just one password prompt. You could adapt it's behaviour for usb-creator.
