Try the following syntax for the device command:

     device cciss
     device mptbase
     device mptscsih
     device mptspi

That is, drop the 'scsi' keyword and use a separate device line for each
module.  Here is a reference to the device command syntax as processed in
kickstart for RHEL-6:

     http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart#device

Also, if you have the pykickstart package installed, it installs a program
called /usr/bin/ksvalidator that will validate the syntax of a kickstart file
against a specific version of the kickstart backend.  For example:

     ksvalidator -v RHEL6 ks.cfg

Will validate ks.cfg using the RHEL6 kickstart parser.
