No, there's no such requirement.

This could be a bug, but it's hard to say.  What version of
virt-sysprep?  What guest type & version?

Ah crap. So I found out as to *why* it was doing it.

Seems that from HTML form input to creating the script the formatting
messed up and added windows-style carriage returns.

A quick *dos2unix* before running the "--firstboot" script seems to
have
fixed the issue.

As always, the issue was between the chair and the computer :D

Thanks for the reply though!
