You need to keep the same $OEM$ structure as a CD based install...if your info is correct you have the Drivers folder in the same place as your I386 and $OEM$ folders. That's not right, and most definantly your problem. You should have something like this:

RIS_IMAGE\I386
				 \$OEM$\$1\Drivers\VGA
											 \Chipset
							\$$\System32

Detailed a little better here:

Otherwise things look okay as far as you winnt.sif goes. You have all the drivers expanded in their respective folders I assume.

EDIT: I see that the formatting of posts might have skewed your dir list, so you may already have it correct.
