Thanks Ben. I will go through it later today, it isn't even 5am here right now, and correct the errors you pointed out and will go through the manual and check the rest. The auto script has not given me problems for a long time, even when I was using it before my long hiatus, so I assumed I had caught the issues that would break the build.
