what other rules do you have installed and configured? it appears, based on what 
you've written, that you have other rules installed and configured for use...

try adding a few more zeros to your local base SID range... i use 100000000 to 
start my local rules specifically to get their SIDs up and away from the others 
currently available by distribution...

yours: 5000001
mine : 100000000
