Root need help rooting

I'm finally rooting my Captivate and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm currently running 2.3.5 Gingerbread.

I'm sure that I have the zip file in the right spot as I emailed myself the file and downloaded it from my phone. When I reboot the phone while holding down the volume buttons the screen will read as...
