Eoin,

You aren't a subscriber right?   

This was a different error. Not a pulledpork error.  We've corrected this in the subscriber pack.

This sucker doesn't get commented out:

When you have this in your disablesid.conf
$ more /nids/pulledpork/etc/disablesid.conf
VRT-deleted

I get why disablesid.conf doesn't apply categories to the SO rule stubs 
that get generated. By design it just comments out the lines within the 
deleted.rules file in the tarball (which I totally understand). The user 
should be using pcre or just the sid's specifically they want to nuke 
for the SO rule stubs. Maybe update doc/README.CATEGORIES to reflect 
that it only effects the non-SO rules?
