Fedora-Kickstart, chroot cannot access to files been copied inside during %post -nochroot

Heyas

I did try with several paths, and it ran several times, so i'm tired of rebuilt it (takes 30min and laptop is up to 90+C on cpu temp) just to see an empty skeleton dir.

I once had the kickstart files in the root dir, but somehow the files retrieved from git, seem to be missing.
Had them saved to $root/tmp/BLUB first, but since they disapread on the live image, i'd started to assume the /tmp dir might been 'overwritten', thus the files wouldlie beneath the mountpoint of /tmp, right?

Not all kickstarts posted, only the one/two relevant, and the script with wich i build the iso.

Any ideas why those code from GIT is available on local host (nochroot) /mnt/sea_awesome_wm/install_root/sea/GIT-THINGS, but fails to be found in chroot?
edit /* doing so to avoid the need of establishing an internetconnection (bind) from within/out the chroot */

Thank you in advance for any thoughts / input.

EDIT:
All files can be found at https://github.com/sri-arjuna/awesome-spin

     your shell.

     If the -u, -g or -G options are given, the user, group and group list of the process are set to these values after the chroot has taken
     place.  See setgid(2), setgroups(2), setuid(2), getgrnam(3) and getpwnam(3).

     Note, command or the shell are run as your real-user-id.

ENVIRONMENT

     The following environment variable is referenced by chroot:

     SHELL  If set, the string specified by SHELL is interpreted as the name of the shell to exec.  If the variable SHELL is not set, /bin/sh is
	    used.
