The machines have 8G of ram, hence the 25% :)

It looks ok, and the recipe was created in kate so it *should* have unix line endings.
I tried retooling my recipe, and am still getting no root partition available.
So I changed my recipe around a bit but still am having issues. I commented out the finish and config d-i/partman statements. And when I look at the partition table, its like the LVM was never setup. a /boot exists, and an LVM partition was created, but no lv's exist. When I goto to configure LVM (which I can since I commented out the finish step) it says I need to write existing changes to disk and configure LVM (not sure if this is due to the commenting of preseed values), asks if I want to use existing VG, I say ok, then there are no lv's created in the VG. I'm not sure how critical this is LVM wise, but the LVM partition is not in the primary table, but is a logical partition.
Here is the recipe file I'm using,
boot-root ::
100 200 300 ext3 $primary{ } $bootable{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /boot } .
2000 2050 2100 ext3 $primary $lvmok{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ / } .
2000 2050 2100 ext3 $lvmok{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /opt } .
1000 1050 1100 ext3 $lvmok{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /tmp } .
1000 1050 1100 ext3 $lvmok{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /home } .
2000 2050 2100 ext3 $lvmok{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /var } .
1000 1050 1100 ext3 $lvmok{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /var/opt } .
200 250 300 linux-swap $lvmok{ } method{ swap } format{ } .
1000 1000 10000000 ext3 $lvmok{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /var/opt/disk } .
I'm prototyping the install in a VM right now, which is why the swap is set different and the disk sizes are low. The VMware image has a 30Gish hard drive. The end goal for my partitioning scheme is this.
/boot - primary partition *not in lvm*
/ - lvm
/home - lvm
/tmp - lvm
/var - lvm
/usr - lvm
/opt - lvm
/var/opt - lvm
swap - lvm
unused space - inside lvm volume. (which is why I used /var/opt/disk in my recipe. wasn't sure how to specify the rest of the unused disk is to be in the LVM partition, but not used.)

I've attached the sysog and partman logs (both gzipd) to this message.
