It's a good point Andy.  For example, where the Bible tells us that God commanded something, should we take it that God actually did command it, or should we allow the possibility that it was written by people who were not perfect and might have produced their own set of rules saying that God commanded it.  That wouldn't necessarily mean that the Bible isn't exactly the way God wants it to be.  God may well have wanted this man-made law to be recorded and wanted it to be recorded with all the 'God said this' and 'God commanded that' stuff just so we could see how fickle humans are, and how they will always twist religion to suit themselves.  How they will always put words into the mouth of God.

How do we tell whether the  rules in the Bible are man-made rules, and which are real commandments from God?

It's not just what you're given, it's what you do with what you've got.
