I'm not sure what the first sentence means (do you have a chapter LOF?). As for the second, your LOF specifications (on the LOF's reference page) shouldn't use <$chapnum> at all. Assuming you have only one figure caption pgf format, FigCap, the LOF spec would include a FigCapLOF pgf that might look like this: <$paranum> <$paratext> ...........................<$pagenum> The first building block, <$paranum>, would pick up the figure number from each FigCap pgf (e.g., "Figure 1-1"). The second building block, <$paratext>, would pick up the text of the FigCap pgf (e.g., "Exploded view of widget"). That would be followed by a right tab, defined with a leader, and then the <$pagenum> building block to insert the page number. The details might differ for yours -- maybe you have punctuation between <$paranum> and <$paratext>, or no leader -- but the basics should be the same. You shouldn't be referencing <$chapnum> at all because the entire figure number -- the prefix "Figure," the chapter number, the dash, and the number of the figure within the chapter -- all come from pulling in the paragraph numbers of the FigCap pgfs, using <$paranum>.
