PonyUmpire's post in Correct Ruling on Interference? was marked as the answer
You ruled correctly. On a play like this, the batter-runner is usually not liable for interference, as per 7.09-j-comment. However, if he does anything that doesn't involve immediately running towards first base (like lingering in the box as he did in your play), and hinders the catcher, you can bang him.
