Damn I finally got it -Thanks here is what I had to do
I had Voodoo Ota rootkeeper with root backed up
After I did the ota to ics I restored root
Tried to flash cwm with recovery installer keep getting message device not rooted
Started searching landed here
baseballfanz suggested to move su from system/bin to system/xbin which I did
when I did that I lost root completely-was able to restore with Voodoo rootkeeper it confirmed I wasn't rooted so I restored root -
It placed the su file back into system/bin
I copied it with root explorer and pasted it to system/xbin
so now I have su in both system/bin and system/xbin
installed recovery installer and viola it work device rebooted and now I have cmw recovery YAY
Thanks baseballfanz your advice was what got me over the top
