Narrative:
Flight msp-iah. Upon calling ground for pushback clearance, ground said push approved expect runway 22 at intersection C7. Called ground after staring engines and clearance was received to exit ramp at clo hold short of runway 22. Then ground cleared us onto runway 22 to back taxi. At this time the captain taxiing, went to the end of runway 22, as we entered the runway from clo ground control switched us to tower frequency. We called ready for takeoff and received takeoff clearance. After departure tower asked the captain to call them when we got to iah. I had not talked with captain to see if this was the problem, I can only assume. I think that in the future the ground controller should be more specific, and say don't cross runways 12L/30R, taxi to M7 cleared to back taxi.
