I am in the process of making 8 images:
(1) Desktop Developer x86
(1) Laptop Developer x86
(1) Laptop Developer x64
(1) Desktop Developer x64
Each one of those will also have a Basic image associated with it for other employees, 1 of each variety, only containing the OS, Office and a few other small/proprietary apps. (8 total)
I am using Ghost to make generalized images for Latitude E6500's, Optiplex 780's and Optiplex 960's.
I started with a Windows7 disk, installed, setup the machine how I wanted the basic image to be, then ran sysprep to make the "basic" x86 desktop and laptop image. No issue there. To test the image, I immediately slap it back onto the machine I just setup manually (pushed from the Ghostcast server). Everything is fine, I rejoin to the domain, then proceed to spend hours and hours installing all the junk the Developers use to this recently imaged machine.
This is where my problem comes in. I ran sysprep when I was ready to make a Developer image, and I get this fatal error. This is seemingly making all the time I spent installing VS, VSS, MSDN, SQL and all sorts of other stuff a complete waste of time.
I am convinced it has something to do with the rearm function. I have already looked at:
Sysprep windows 7 Failure
but the resolution given is for an entry in the answerfile. I am not using an answer file in my process.
I tried to edit the registry to juice my rearms back to 3 using the instructions from this post:

but no luck.
