kickstart partitioning error

I am using my anaconda-ks.cfg to rebuild a system (F12).  I am using the 
same partitions as before, just reformatting.  This is what I did in my 
last rebuild manually, so I ASSUMEd the anaconda-ks.cfg file had all the 
right commands to uncomment, but I still got an error.  Here are the 
pertinent lines:

#clearpart --none
volgroup vg_klovia_00 --pesize=4096 --useexisting --noformat 
pv.cqT7O1-lvx9-fBxs-0b1q-91j0-PRDt-xH3d3s
logvol /home --fstype=ext4 --name=Home_00 --vgname=vg_klovia_00 
--useexisting
logvol / --fstype=ext4 --name=Root_00 --vgname=vg_klovia_00 --useexisting

part /boot --fstype=ext4 --onpart=sda1
part swap --onpart=sda2
part pv.cqT7O1-lvx9-fBxs-0b1q-91j0-PRDt-xH3d3s --onpart=sda3 --noformat

I ASSUMEd NOT to clear the partition table and left the clearpart 
uncommented?  Of course it says --none, so perhaps that says to leave 
the partition table alone?

Anyway I fail on the volgroup line:

Tried to use undefined partition 
pv.cqT7O1-lvx9-fBxs-0b1q-91j0-PRDt-xH3d3s in Volume Group specification.

Well this is what anaconda provided me!  Well the last time is DID 
rewrite the partition table perhaps.  What SHOULD be on this line?
