Even though I couldn't get it working again and decided not to mess with it again. (just will wait for the Beta version....Please hurry). I'll say how I approached it.
When I first untar everything, I got nothing bu permission errors. So I did it this way.

in root, chmod 777 for directories /usr, /usr/bin & /usr/lib (one at a time of course)
exit root
untar
permission error for /hildon. So back into root. chmod 777 for that directory also.
exit root
Then I did untar again, this time with not errors.
exit root
then continue with his instructions.

Again it worked okay with some quirks. But I reflashed my NIT and now I cannot get it to work, but I also don't want to mess with it too much. I also can't get Dialcentral to dial out since reflashing. It does SMS and everything else.
