It absolutely does allow you to install from usb to a hard drive.So, this does not provide an installation from USB to Hard Drive?
I'm posting this from my laptop (which has no cd drive) running Intrepid. I used usb-creator to put the cd iso on my usb key and install onto the hard drive from there. I am now happily running Intrepid without any usb key.
Hope this clears the issue up!

Alas, with Intrepid Server ISO, the USB-Creator succeeds but the boot fails with
Insert proper boot device
Told!
Yes. But persistence is currently broken, though it will be fixed before release. See:

The drive order changes after you install. This is solved by adding UUID support to GRUB, which was done by Colin King earlier in the cycle, and updating update-grub to handle the new uuid command that came as a result of that, which I'm going to commit to the archive tonight.

The bootloader defaults to (hd0), which happens to be your usb drive when you're installing from it. This has been on my radar for some time now and I'm in the process of writing a patch to make it default to something more reasonable.
debian-installer based CD (Alternate CD, Server CD) support is on the way.

usb-creator worked just fine for me except for one thing:
It doesn't enable the LBA flag by default - this does not let my flash drive boot. Bug Report.
Focus on how it can be rather than how it could've been.
