First and foremost; Welcome to LFS! But, you missed a step.  See:

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.4/chapter05/generalinstructions.html

The second important box tells you to extract the tarball and enter the 
newly created directory before executing any of the book commands.

Good luck and most importantly, as frustrating as it can be getting 
started, have fun.  It's all worth it when you see it boot *your* LFS 
the first time.
