SCCM 2012 OSD; Not finding driver package during deployment

Question

I've been having some trouble setting up my OSD deployment using SCCM 2012 and hope someone can point me in the right direction.  Specifically I am having trouble with device driver deployment while deploying my reference image. 
I am running SCCM Config Manager 2012 SP1 CU2. This is running on a Server 2012 VM with SQL 2012.  I am building an OSD deployment and have successfully captured my reference image.  I am not sure if it matters, but I manually built a reference
PC and using capture media (USB stick), I successfully captured my reference image.  I have imported my drivers for the target PC into Config Manager and into a driver package.  The driver package has been deployed to the distribution point
(DP).  I checked the status of the driver package within the console and verified it has been deployed to the DP.   I created a new task sequence (TS) to deploy the captured wim.  Within the TS, I added an "Apply
Driver Package" step and pointed it to the aforementioned driver package.  I added a WMI query to the step as follows
select * from Win32_ComputerSystem where Model like "HP Probook 6570b%." 
Incidentally, I did a wmi query on the target PC to verify the model.  I deployed the TS to the unknown computers collection and PXE booted the target PC.  I ran through the OSD wizard and while OSD is verifying the deployment prerequisites,
the deployment fails with the error, "The task sequence cannot be run because a package referenced by the task sequence could not be found."  I checked the smsts.log log and found the following:
Failed to find CCM_SoftwareDistribution object for AdvertID="CT120043", PackageID="CT100044", ProgramID="*"
After some research I found this error means Config Manager cannot find the driver package (PackageID="CT100044")
for deployment.  After more research I have done the following:
Deleted the Driver Package and recreated it and updated the TS step to point to this package.
Deleted and recreated the TS along with the driver package.
Recreated the driver package and distributed content, only importing the NIC drivers as a way to make a simple test.
When distributing content I verified it was successfully completed each time as per the console.
Each time I recreated the driver package and the OSD failed, smsts.log is showing the appropriate package ID in the error.  If I disable the Apply Driver Package step and configure a Apply Device Drivers step to install the best matched compatible drivers
and limit the driver matching to the specific driver package, the OSD completes but the drivers do not install. It is as if Config Manager is not seeing the imported drivers at all.
I have run out of options to try and hope someone can help point me in the next direction to take.  After reading numerous forums and guides, I am sure I am doing the OSD steps correctly but I am apparently missing something.
Thanks in advance,
Mike G.

Thanks for responding.
Yes after I posted the question I right-clicked on the driver package, and selected to update distribution points.  I checked now (about 12 hours later) and the package is showing it has not finished updating.  I checked the content status and
it is "waiting for content."  I looked at distmgr.log and I found an error "Failed to start DP health monitoring task for package 'CT100044'. Error code: -1".  This error would occur every 30 min after each time the DP retried to process
the package. After some research I found a post stating a file called "Microsoft" or "Program" on located on the root of the site server could cause this and renaming or deleting the file would resolve this. I renamed the file and after the next time
it retried, the error cleared, however the package status is still waiting for content.  I tried doing a validation on the package but so far there has been no change.
