Step 1: Complete
Step 2: Complete
Step 3: Done. I stripped the unnecessary bones as svdl suggested, but when I try to leave the setup room I get an error message saying that some groups are not assigned to bones.

The fact that your figure does not conform at all makes me think you've matched the exteral names, not the internal ones.

What svdl said here concerns me. How to I get at the internal names of my prop?
