I have tried adding the --size and --grow based on the the RHEL 6 documentation but still get the same error:

part /boot --fstype "ext3" --size=250 --asprimary
part pv.01   --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sda
volgroup vglocal00 pv.01
logvol swap     --fstype swap --name=swap00 --vgname=vglocal00 --size=2048
logvol /tmp     --vgname=vglocal00 --size=2048 --name=tmp00
logvol /var/log    --vgname=vglocal00 --fstype ext4 --size=1 --name=log00 --grow --percent=10
logvol /        --vgname=vglocal00 --fstype ext4 --size=1 --name=root00 --grow --percent=90
