KickStart Problems

I am having two problems with the kickstart installation method, using
RH6.1.
The first problem is that I can't get the ftp method working.
README.ks says to use the following line: "url --url ftp://x.x.x.x/pub".
The installation procedure reports that the "url" keyword is not
recognized. I have used both the boot.img and the bootnet.img, and have
testing the manual ftp method (using bootnet.img) with success. The
"cdrom" kickstart method works also.
The second problem is that I can't seem to get the "%post" section to
work. What ever I try it seems that it can't find the program I am
running, and it can't find the path I am describing.
Enclosed is the ks.cfg file I have been using.
************** Begin ks.cfg
lang en_US
network --bootproto dhcp
#If I uncomment the url line it doesn't work (url keyword not recognized)
#url --url ftp://10.0.40.64/pub
#The cdrom keyword does.
cdrom
