Formatting the USB as FAT is worthless because you are blasting over the file system with the ISO data. Just FYI.
Tried doing it when it was formatted as HFS+ and it dd utility didn't like it for some reason and it didn't work. Not sure why...

I was able to successfully do a live boot from USB from an .iso image using dd utility
1. Formatted USB Drive as MS-DOS (FAT)
2. Unmounted the drive (in this case mine was disk1): diskutil umountDisk /dev/disk1
3. Using dd utility, put iso on USB Drive: sudo dd if=linux.iso of=/dev/disk1 bs=512 conv=noerror,sync
USB Drive is labeled as Windows in the Startup Manager
Boot was successful, Drivers are a different story...
Drive created on Mac OS X 10.9 (13A524d)
Test System: MacBook Air "Core i7" 1.7 13-Inch (Mid-2013/Haswell)
Distro: Kali Linux 1.0.4 amd64

Are you looking for a live boot of linux from USB or a bootable install from USB?
