There are some tutorials here:
http://brej.org/blog/?cat=16
and a list of functions here:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Plymouth/Scripts

When testing, run plymouthd with:
"--debug --debug-file=/tmp/plymouth-debug-out"
and see if there were any warnings there.

Try showing values using Image.Text and setting a sprite to place the 
generated image on the screen.

Would you like a function to print things out to the debug log? Paste 
your script somewhere and ask in #plymouth on irc.freenode.net.
