I had this issue for some time with 7.x-4.x branches while trying to produce subtheme:

drush osub "BF fail"
Source directory  is not readable or does not exist.                                 [error]
Failed to generate subtheme.                                                         [error]

It is on Dreamhost that is some crap hosting, however, folders and permissions are right and it should pass.

Others?

(I always forget something :S )

...but wizard build them just right.

Also, it seems that osub command does not provide for new options like basic or extended framework.

I think I am having issues with --starterkit directive and --destination but I couldn't test as osub is not functioning in the first place.

Well, osub must be working because otherwise owiz would not work either as it simply invokes osub internally after collecting all the answers to the questions it asks. The thing that actually creates the subtheme is osub. Please take a closer look at the description/help text of the command. I think you are using the options incorrectly. However I usually advice to use owiz. The reason why I wrote this is quite simple: prevent people from running into problems by using the wrong syntax or mis-typing something.
