Hi Jeff, as I recall the map-reduce-based fp-growth solution was problematic, and it's been either deprecated or removed.
There are better solutions under the "recommendations" tab at http://mahout.apache.org And I would encourage your updating your version of Mahout to 0.9 or to the master branch at https://github.com/apache/mahout, since 0.7 from that blog is outdated.
