I think you also need to add a boot sector to the drive. On my 64-bit system:
#dd if=/usr/lib64/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdc
After doing your suggestion I get

I took an older 512MEG usb instead of my 8 GIG one,
did the exact same steps and I get
Could not find boot image: linux
I copied all files what is missing?
It was just a guess. There were several more steps I have needed to do in the
past in order to get Fedora Live CDs to boot off of thumb drives. I wish I
could find the link but all I find now are instructions to use a Fedora script
to create the thumb drive -- a script that doesn't seem to be immediately
available for CentOS or RHEL.
