I have no idea why this doesn't work for you, but may I suggest a
workaround: If you have access to a Debian mirror, you could use the
netboot initrd, so you don't need the *.iso anymore.
I gave up in frustration trying to get a usb-stick to boot correctly in
the past (OP appears to have got further than I had in that respect).
Setting up a dhcpd and tftpd for netboot on a spare machine was
difficult but was the route I eventually went down.
jlquinn is correct, I believe: it sounds like the OP has copied the .iso
file onto the memory stick's filespace, rather than over it.
