Did you check the partinfo file to see if the variables are correctly replaced?

In an external shell script.
I just do a simple dd (I still use msdos partitioing):
dd if=/dev/zero of=$DEVICE bs=512 count=1 >/dev/null 2>&1
Then I use sfdisk with values calculated for the correct stripe size depending on the server RAID.
Then I format with a stripe-width and optionally -m 0.
I only let the ks do the mounting.
Disclaimer: did not test with CentOS 6 yet...

needed since you already put one in your partinfo file?
