line 540 from your snort.conf file says:
 
include $RULE_PATH/usr/src/rulesfile-identify.rules
 
It is missing the "/" after the "rules", compared to the other include statements. Another note is that since your 
RULE_PATH variable is defined at the beginning of your snort.conf file, you just simply append the rule name to that 
variable, for example:
 
RULE_PATH /path/to/rules/
 
then your include statement would look something like:
 
include $RULE_PATH/local.rules

Hello

There is only one config file, am I correct in saying that the # comments
the files out and therefore i should take these out for part 7, 8 & 9

YES! '#' are comment indicators... lines starting with them are commented out...

i was wondering why you had so many lines starting with '#' characters... in
effect you barely have a working config with it in its current state...
