A question: so if I am trying to update a machine (A) with an image saved in a shared drive ( where machine A has access to this image. How do I do this ?? si_updateclient is not working for me and I think there should be a simpler way of doing this.

So looks like you have done 1) and 2) already and you just need create a golden image out of your golden client (gord) and save that to the image server (sampras). And you won't be using si_updateclient to deploy the image, that is for updating a client which is under SystemImager control. Currently, SystemImager knows nothing about your client machine (mohammed).
