Hi: Perhaps the most painless way to create a Lion recovery image is to use the program called Super Duper, from http://www.shirt-pocket.com
It will let you select the "install esd.img" file as a source, and you can then select your USB drive as the destination. I have used it to create both a Lion bootable flash drive for the installer, but, also a bootable installer from Snow Leopard. This part of SuperDuper is free. Hope this helps.
