Can't flash files on my backup Defy - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just tried to upgrade my backup Defy from 2.3 to CM11. I rooted it, installed 2ndInit and from there I'm trying to flash all the zips from Quarx' CM11 thread. The problem is it throws an error at the first one:
Code:
E:Error in /sdcard/cm11/new_bootstrap.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
Did I miss a step?

You need a recent (SELinux-aware) recovery
TWRP should be properly updated

Nexus 7 stuck in Clockworkmod.

I tried to flash a CM11 nightly and when the Nexus reboots, it just continues to go back to Clockworkmod. When I try to flash a nightly from the SD, it errors saying, "E:Error in /sdcard/0/cmupdater/cm-11-20131212-NIGHTLY-grouper.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted.
How do I get a ROM on the device from my computer so I can flash it?

How could I edit the install script to echo the results of the set_perm commands to determine which one is failing?
Figured i should update this:
The problem was CWM 6.0.4.7 installed by FreeGee. I am now using TWRP 2.7.0.0 with no issues.
