There's one more fix you have to make to get it working: move this line 
from near the bottom of maintenance/commandLine.inc to near the top:

   define("MEDIAWIKI",true);

Some of the include files are guarded by a check for this variable to 
protect against possible attacks by loading the files individual from 
the outside. With the define at the bottom, important definitions were 
being ignored and things don't work correctly.

Additionally to make the changes visible you'll have to manually clear 
the objectcache table ('DELETE FROM objectcache').

(Fixes for these are in current CVS head and 1.3 branches, but anon CVS 
is a little behind.)
