Glad you got it working.

You may want to look at the SVN version of LFS.  It stays pretty 
current, but file-5.13 is not in the book yet.  It's only a couple of 
days old, but in the TODO list.

LFS-7.3 will be released in the next few days.  I'm not sure file-5.13 
will be in that or not, but it will definitely be in SVN in a week.
