Using the latest version, R 1.7.1, I get:
> z
Call:
lda.formula(assignment ~ ., data = actaData, prior = prio, tol = 1e-08)

Prior probabilities of groups:
  5   6 
0.5 0.5 

Group means:
  diagonal.moment cluster.shade histogram.kurtosis
5        84.94982     -11989.17         -0.1116342
6       138.31495     -18892.15         -0.1205776

Coefficients of linear discriminants:
                             LD1
diagonal.moment    -1.575854e-03
cluster.shade      -1.209398e-04
histogram.kurtosis -2.028278e+02
