Reading over that, it looks like step 2 is in need of a bit of updating 
and might have led you astray.

The directory you are pointing to as releasearea should contain x86/, 
x86_64/ and noarch/ directories, which should contain a release/ 
directory, which should contain the various package directories and 
subdirectories.

If that layout isn't followed, mksetupini won't be able to find the 
packages and thus they won't appear in the output setup.ini

Failing that, perhaps running mksetupini with the --verbose flag will 
give a bit more insight into what is happening?
