Here is a fresh pull of the boot, system and recovery partitions as img files using dd commands:

Download req-files-for-custom-recovery-build-20120716.zip from Sendspace.com - send big files the easy way

Also, here are img files I pulled earlier for somebody else who tried to build CWM. These were pulled using cat commands and have been renamed to boot.img, system.img and recovery.img This zip also contains ADB output, build.prop, and last_log info:

Thank you very much for the help.
