I get update filed and there is no "You are Jailbroken book" and ";log" does nothing.

I tried repacking it to add logging to see where it is failing, but from here I'm lost. It seems the jailbreak file I have doesn't match the firmware on my Kindle DX (serial starts with B004)

I would love some help with this. I feel like I'm close, but also I'm stumped.
