Description

I am trying to regenerate the background, but it's getting blank. The folder is inside the directory, I tried to change the name to see if the problem is related to cache, but after a few tries, now it is always blank.

Folder: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o32jy2tlav9nmy8/Screenshot%202014-08-18%2009.30.19.png
JSON: https://gist.github.com/66497ed36ba52f54b355
DMG generated: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rq1dgng2q3mxkm6/Screenshot%202014-08-18%2009.31.27.png

Research direction

Start by reproducing the blank background using the linked JSON and generated DMG, mounting it at a non-standard path. Inspect how the background alias resolves in that case; done means regenerating the DMG produces a visible background instead of a blank one.
