Stephen,
from 'man su' : The optional argument - may be used to provide an
environment similiar to what the user would expect had the user logged
in directly.
You've opened up a new root shel, and thereby thrown away all of the
environment variables that you set as user lfs, so now $LFS is not set.
In any case, you were running as user satimis before you su'd, so I
guess the environment for user lfs was not available to pass to root.
Exit from that root shell, logon (or su -) as user lfs, and check that
all necessary environment variables are set with 'printenv' (e.g.
everything in section 4.4 'Setting Up The Environment' should be set).
Then 'su' without the '-'
