just for the archive, I did a test and that worked fine:

I created an ISO (based on a SLES11 but all RPM files deleted) with the 
following image files on it:

* image.sh
* image_test.xml
* suse-oem-preload.tar.bz2

and that worked with:
autoyast=file:///image_test.xml

and an image.sh like this:

mv /mnt/etc/fstab tmp
mkdir /tmp/mnt
mount /dev/sr0 /tmp/mnt
tar xfj /tmp/mnt/suse-oem-preload.tar.bz2 -C /mnt 2>/dev/null
mv /tmp/fstab /mnt/etc
umount /tmp/mnt

the relevant part in the xml file is:

  <software>
      <image>
          <script_location>file:///image.sh</script_location>
          <run_kickoff config:type="boolean">true</run_kickoff>
      </image>
  </software>

that installed a SLES 11 system quite fine here
You should add a working installation source at the end of the installation 
via "zypper as" and remove the "broken" on the the CD with "zypper rs"
