joe editor issues

I have installed a number of hacks into my tivo with success (tivoweb, tivoftpd, turbonet). But I am unable to get the joe editor to work. Keep in mind this is my first experience with Linux. These are the steps I took.

1. Ftp'd joe.tar.gz (from Steve Jenkins files) in binary format via WSftp
2. I then telneted (from windows XP dos promt). Then used the following commands.
3. cd /var/hack
4. gzip –d joe.tar.gz
5. cpio -idu -H tar < joe.tar
6. chmod 755 joe
7. ./joe testfile

I got these commands from steve's tivo network hack how to guide.
But I keep getting the error.

"cannot open /var/hack/joeerc"

'joeerc' is a ascii file that I was able to ftp over to my PC and read.

What am I doing wrong here?
