BJ, Thanks for the advice. I took a look at the xml and it seems I'm doing everything as instructed. I also went through a business setup guided an did step-by-step catalog/category setup. I seems that in either case all the subcategories get rolled up to the catalog (or rather browsing root) level. Have you seen anything like that before? I'm setting both parent category id and the rollup to be safe :)..
