See #53 and #56

What its tripping over, after the asr restore ... command, it's mounted the base system as /Volumes/macOS Base System and the script is trying to move packages into /Volumes/OS X Base System.

If you add an extra check against Mojave and change the ditto -V ... commands to point to the correct folder, the rest of the script will work.

Thanks for a great script that still works for creating ISO's.
