Everything goes well up until:

Quote:
umount -l /media/mount_point
as in, I see the file system on the desktop, I am able to copy the files, and I see them in the file system when I have finished copying. The problem comes when i unmount the file system, using the latter command, then attempt to mount the create image. Nothing shows up on the mounted image file. What am I doing wrong?

why are you doing a lazy unmount?

Old 12-23-2010
It was in the guide I followed, to try create the image.

Well, try not doing a lazy unmount. If you're copying the image file after(or just using it in any way) you really want to do a firm, no-holds-barred, normal unmount. That will definitely sync the contents of the image to file, and if it doesn't, it'll tell you so -- but there's no telling what a lazy unmount might do when.

OK, lets assume that the files are correctly copied onto the mounted filesystem, you have checked and you can see them there. You then dismount the filesystem without using lazy dismount. You then mount this filesystem somewhere else but cannot see the files. Correct?

What are the exact commands you are using to mount the new image filesystem and check for the files? What is the output of df -h also when it is mounted?

well I just mount it using "Archive Mounter". When I run the df -h it shows this:

Code:
Filesystem    Size    used    avail    use %    Mounted on  
/dev/sdb1      18G      2G      14G      17%    /
tmpfs         375M       0     375M       0%    /lib/init/rw
varrun        375M     88K     375M       1%    /var/run
varlock       375M       0     375M       0%    /var/lock
udev          375M    156K     375M       1%    /dev
tmpfs         375M    632K     374M       1%    /dev/shm
lrm           375M    2.4M     373M       1%    /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/volatile
/dev/sdb1     956M    920M      37M      97%    /media/NEUR0N (thats my usb memory stick)
