can't get past 'drush.php provision verify' failing

Here is the output when I run the command in shell

Active again.

provision is in /home/user/.drush/provision

cd ~ takes me to /home/user

Drush Path in webserver node is /home/user/drush/drush.php

Going off of the email today

* make sure you have a aegir user and that it is the same configured in your webserver node

Script User matches my user account.

* make sure drush is installed properly and is the same path in the webserer node

Seems installed fine and looking at the webserver node it looks correct.

* make sur provision is in ~aegir/.drush and that both hosting and provisiona ppear in the drush help

Provision exists in /home/user/.drush
But doing /home/user/drush/drush.php help does not show provision or hosting in the list. I'm sure this is my issue

* make sure aegir can restart apache without a password (sudo ...)

Can do

* make sure apache has a parseable configuration (run apachectl configtest)

Passes

ok I decided to do it all over again. I was never able to get drush to find provision when using the home directory. This time following INSTALL.txt I was able to get it to find it when I set it up in /var/aegir/drush
Now my issue is when I run provision or hosting setup I get

Call to undefined function t() in /var/aegir/drupal-5.x/sites/default/modules/hosting/hosting.drush.inc on line 12

Any help on the next steps? Something I missed?

I've updated to provision head and nothing has changed. Also I'm not sure how updating to provision head will help my issue with hosting.drush.inc.

Did you mean to update to hosting head?

Now I get Fatal error: Call to undefined function hosting_get_queues() in /var/aegir/drupal-5.x/sites/default/modules/hosting/hosting.drush.inc on line 15

I will try that. FYI INSTALL.txt specifies that it should be installed in /sites/default/modules Probably should change that.

I started over using Adrian's tutorial and it seems to have worked for me now. I'm leaving this open for @hexag. Seems more info has been added so moving to active.
