This shows it seems you do not understand fully or just make small typo mistakes! Folder name is MyDocs/bootmenu.img.d
And copying will not work, as kernel image needs to be converted from z to uImage.

u-boot-update-bootmenu does not need root rights.

Maybe (just a guess) your zImage file (located in /boot) is not readable for user. Or it is already a uImage. Or ...
Please give output of
ls -l /boot
Smth like
~ $ ls -l /boot/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1783580 Mar 18 2012 zImage-2.6.28.10-power50
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2045788 Jul 10 00:45 zImage-2.6.28.10-power50u-boot
You see the size difference? But, really, just a guess.

Sorry about the typo .. I meant MyDocs/bootmenu.img.d

And I understand that the copy and convert part needs to be done by the script. I was just checking if that particular folder has i/o or access problem by manually copying something into it.

Output of ls -l /boot/

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1746688 Jan 16 2012 zImage-2.6.28-omap1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1770180 Jan 16 2012 zImage-2.6.28-omap1-fb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1785760 Jul 23 21:45 zImage-2.6.28.10-power51

Sorry, running out of ideas what might be wrong.
Latest thing I could imagine you are running out of space on MyDocs?

Probably because CSSU-Thumb requires patches only present in KP51r1 kernel and up. All other kernels go into boot loop. I faced the same issue today.

Afaik uboot doesn't come with kpv51r1
if you have thumb installed, install uboot-with kernel-cssu

I solved my U-Boot problem a few days back. Just reporting here in case it happens to anyone else.

Initial failure was due to FAM, it updated u-boot-flasher but not u-boot-tools. Second time around somehow my KP51 zImage in /boot was corrupted so mkimage failed to convert. I was able to resolve by manually deleting the corrupted zImage and reinstalling KP51 bootimage.

Also for CSSU-thumb KP51r1 and above is required. Don't forget to change default bootitem to KP51r1 as the attached kernel will not boot into Maemo with cssu-thumb installed.

Hopes to see a N900 port for U-Boot v 2.0 (now called "Barebox bootloader") ?

@elros34: U-Boot on n900 is configured to use bootmenu "config" files from first fat eMMC partition = MyDocs. If you want to run your own uboot script from SD card, correct way is to create bootmenu item file with script file name.

/etc/bootmenu.d/50-SD-boot.conf
Code:
ITEM_NAME="Script boot.scr from SD card"
ITEM_SCRIPT="boot.scr"
ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p1"
ITEM_FSTYPE="fat"
Re-run u-boot-update-bootmenu and then you will have new menu entry in uboot for booting uboot script from SD card, first fat32 partition.
