Snort 2.3.0 and p2p rules question

Hello,
I am trying to play back a tcpdump/libpcap trace using the p2p.rules but getting an error. I modified /etc/snort/snort.conf and put in a line:

## include somefile.rules
include /etc/snort/rules/p2p.rules

In my case, both HOME_NET and EXTERNAL_NET are set to "any". When I do the following:

$ snort -dvr file.pcap  -c /etc/snort/snort.conf

I get an error:

Running in IDS mode
TCPDUMP file reading mode.
Reading network traffic from "file.pcap" file.
snaplen = 100

        --== Initializing Snort ==--

Initializing rule chains...
ERROR: /etc/snort/rules/p2p.rules(10) => Unknown ClassType: policy-violation
Fatal Error, Quitting..


Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong ? I am a *very* new user of snort (and that may be just the problem!)

Thanks!
