Assura Rules file debuging

Hi. 

I have a design rule mod I have been using for years to calculate a certain transistor geometry and after moving to a new design kit and version of Assura I am getting:

ERROR Text can't attach to layer: substrate is not connected.
WARNING LVS Run detected.
Non-legacy mode has been disabled for this LVS run
WARNING Errors exist in rules file so this program cannot continue.
Errors exist in the rules file '/opt/cad/IBM_PDK/cmrf8sf/V1.7.0.2DM/Assura/LVS/extract32.rul'.

virtuoso version: IC6.1.4.500.11
assura version av4.1:Production:dfII6.1.3:IC6.1.3.500.15 10/08/2010 03:04 (sfrh50)

Is their a way to increase the debug level in Assura such that it will tell you where in the rules file it is running in to problems? I already have the verbose and strict switches set.

     I take that back, the V1.8.0.4 PDK does support IC6.1.4.  Let us know if LVS runs after modifying add_text.file.  This problem plagued me for months so I am curious if the solution works for you too.  Regards, Zach.
