File Baselining Help

I need a solution

CMS 7.1 SP2 MP1 - Windows 7 clients

Looking for some help with file baselining as I'm getting some seemingly odd results. First I want to make sure I've got the process correct, as the documentation was a bit confusing:

1) Ran File Configuration Editor from the NS to create a baseline (bls) file on the NS in the FileBaselinePackage folder . In this case, all I wanted to look at was the EXE and DLL files in the Altiris Agent folder and subfolders (Except Software Delivery) on my clients.

2) Created a baseline snapshot task, using the bls file above as a custom baseline

3) Ran the baseline task against a reference computer

4) Grabbed the bls file from the eXpress\baseline folder on the reference computer and copied it to the FileBaselinePackage folder on the NS, replacing the original bls file

5) Created a baseline compliance task, using the reference computer's bls file as the custom snapshot

6) Ran the compliance task against a typical computer and viewed results in the baseline reports, specifically the Summary of All File Baselines report

Assuming the above is correct, the results I'm getting aren't what I would expect, as I'm getting 0% compliance (87 files added, 57 files different, 87 files missing, 144 files in snapshot). I took both the reference computer and another computer and reinstalled the agent on both and got the same result. I compared the two folders with a third party tool and it says they are identical. What am I missing/doing wrong?

I attached the bls file (Altiris32BitAgent.txt) from the NS and the backup nsi file (Altiris_32-bit_Agent_1.05.txt) from one of the clients.
