There is a problem with reinstalling KB971033 - if the machine is not allowed by firewalls to connect with the MS activation servers every 90 days (at least!) then the activation will break.
This is why it's not recommended for VM's, or for corporate networks.
My suspicion here is that the problem is permissions-related - but it's not one I've ever seen before, and none of my researches have been done using KMS activation so I'm fairly fuzzy on the details for that.
It may be worth checking the permissions on the files deleted by the VBS script of a broken and fixed machine to see if they are different?
The 0xC004D301 error simply means that there has been a tamper to the trusted data store
