thanks for the info rodd but still no luck :/ the usb volume was already
named F11beta and changing the mtools.conf and re-making the live usb
resulted in the same problems, i think there may be problems with the
actual iso's as i'm starting to see a few bugs pop up with similar
problems to mine, as well as the already worked out grey screen selinux
bug. looks like i'll have to pass on testing the beta and just wait for
preview or final :(

You can check the iso file using some command that I forget and
comparing it with a value somewhere. Argh, that's too vague.
Let's see. If you run:
sha1sum <file.iso>
and then compare it with this CHECKSUM file:
http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/11-Beta/Fed...
Then you can see if the iso is corrupt or not.
The stuff above regarding the volume name is only an issue (or I'm
pretty sure it is) if you've got a space in the volume name (for example
"my volume".)
