How do I stop it from acting as caps lock?
Basically, say I make this typographical error:
us [instead of up]
I press caps lock:
u
then when I continue:
uP AND
It is very annoying! :(

Caps lock is acting as backspace AND caps lock!

Maybe make the FAQ even more clear on this point? It appears to happen too often to new users.

xmodmap: commandline:1: bad keysym in remove modifier list 'Caps_Lock', no corresponding keycodes
xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting.
^ is what I get when I do:
xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock"

What operating system are you using? What steps did you follow to install Colemak?

I am using Gentoo GNU/Linux.
I installed it to Xorg. I can't install it to console because I don't have this command: install-keymap
So it boots with dvorak and I have to startx to change it.

I am having the same problem on FreeBSD when using the keyboard switcher in KDE 4.1. Here's the error:
% xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock"
xmodmap: commandline:1: bad keysym in remove modifier list 'Caps_Lock', no corresponding keycodes
xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting.As a side note, today is the first day I've tried Colemak. I'm an experienced Dvorak user, but I want to give Colemak a serious try as well. It took me like 20 minutes just to type this post. :P
