I haven't been following the ALFS list, but I need ask this.

How does the script for LFS decide where to put the files?  I was
somewhat distressed by the current results.  I updated alfs from svn and
copied it to a new system that is booted from the LiveCD.

alfs?

The USAGE file says:

  -d  --directory DIR     use DIR directory for building LFS; all files
                          jhalfs produces will be in the directory
                           DIR/jhalfs. Default is /mnt/lfs.

Since I didn't set --directory, I expected the built files to be in /mnt/lfs

I can recover by doing some simple mv commands, but the program does not
appear to do what is documented.

You're having what appears to be mixed output/usage from an older version of jhalfs and what's currently in trunk. What does your svn info say about the path you're using for jhalfs?

Help from the current jhalfs says this:

  -D  --directory DIR
        use DIR directory for building LFS; all files jhalfs produces
        will be in the directory DIR/jhalfs.
