When you say you're building from a netinst: is that all you're using
as a source for packages to use? That's not likely to work well, I'm
afraid. You most likely will need more packages from a mirror to do
this.
Anyway: update_tasks will be trying to generate a working set of task
files to work with your build, and to do that it needs the
tasksel-data package. It might be possible to just use the ones in the
debian-cd package (or svn) directly, but that's not how we do things
any more when building the official images.
