did you first try without a custom d-i? that's a very complicated process...

"NAME" is the name of the profile that you're creating. 

all profiles and tools will take their defaults from the working directory that
you run the build-simple-cdd command from, or /usr/share/simple-cdd if there is
no corresponding file in the working directory.

 mkdir ~/my-simple-cdd
 cd ~/my-simple-cdd
 build-simple-cdd -p NAME

build simple-cdd will first look for ~/my-simple-cdd/profiles/NAME.* for each
profile file it needs, if it doesn't find one, it looks for each corresponding
file in /usr/share/simple-cdd/profiles/NAME.*

hope that helps...

live well,
