So /mnt/mtdblock4 & /mnt/mmcblk0p1 where created with the same 755 privs and owner as the existing "new_root" directory in the myinitfs directory.

The mount command was set to:
mount -t vfat -o rw,nodev,nosuid,utf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed,dma sk=0000,fmask=0000 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/mmcblk0p1

Since it was a card formatted with FAT32
Oh, yes, thanks for the correction, you are right about creating the directories. I just forgot to put it in the instructions.

And yes, you should probably set the mount options according to your filesystem.

Good to hear the instructions helped!
