I'm not seeing a "fossil open" in that sequence up above.

The workflow for a new repo is:

fossil new (or clone if you're copying another repo)
fossil open
fossil do-everything-else

You'll find full instructions at
http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/tip/www/quickstart.wiki.  Sadly the
instructions are in the wrong order and mistakenly put the configuration
stuff ahead of the opening of the repository, so I can see where the
confusion comes in.  If I had check-in privileges I'd fix that myself, but
sadly I don't.
