SELinux Issue with bioapi stuff on FC6

So, I recently got an IBM Thinkpad T43 which has a fingerprint
scanner.  I went here:

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Script_for_enabling_the_fingerprint_reader

And ran the script (knowing it said it would not work on FC6).
Looking at /var/log/messages, I see the reason things don't work is
because of SELinux.

I turned on the setroubleshoot daemon and it tells me in the Allowing
Access section:

--
If you trust /opt/bioapi/lib/libtfmessbsp.so to run correctly, you can
change the file context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t textrel_shlib_t
/opt/bioapi/lib/libtfmessbsp.so"

The following command will allow this access:
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /opt/bioapi/lib/libtfmessbsp.so
--

After doing this, I ran the script again and got the same error again
:(  What am I missing?

Thanks!
