snortrules-current requires snort-current, not snort-2.0.4.

"current" == "unstable development branch"

"current" explicitly does not mean "current release version".. that's what 
"stable" means.

Many other open source projects use this convention.. ie: debian, openbsd, 
freebsd, etc.

Use the stable rules with 2.0.4, or just the rules that come with 2.0.4, 
but the "current" rules are never guaranteed to work with anything but the 
"current" version of snort, which is a development snapshot not a numbered 
release.
