You shouldn't be copying anything (except of course what the book says to...ie su to /tools/bin). Yes, su should have "/tools" in those paths. I was about to ask if you recompiled coreutils as the lfs user, but then I remembered that you're in the chroot. If you've followed the book's instructions, you wouldn't be able to install anything else into /tools as the lfs user because you've changed ownership of that directory to root. How exactly did you recompile coreutils? From within the chroot, as root outside the chroot, or some other way?
I switched to a different console which by default is not chroot. I recreated the lfs user and rebuilt coreutils that way. I then <alt>-F1'ed to the chroot console and copied su from coreutils/src to /tools/bin. I had previously recompiled coreutils as root, but I'm pretty sure I deleted all the files/directories before recompiling as lfs.
