The EFI partition *has* to be vfat, so that might be your issue.  Hard
to say without looking over your shoulder.  When I installed an EFI
system I had to create three extra partitions on the gpt disk before
the install worked right.  That was a while ago, and the details are
vague to me now, but there was a partition for efi, a partition for
keeping the disk layout, and a backup mbr partition.  A search for EFI
and gpt should get you the information.  Or maybe someone else has it
off the top of their head.
