I had the same problem but figured out, that grml 2008.11 uses a new
patched version of squashfs with lzma support. I had to build this stuff
by hand for CentOS: http://www.squashfs-lzma.org/

Maybe someone should put an hint on this on a prominent position to the
website!

Then I was able to do "unsquashfs" the image to a directory.

Only the repackaging still troubles me a bit as the resulting image is
significant bigger than the original :(

regards,
Markus
