I've got some trouble to get some codes like your codes working too. It
seems to me, some MV tags works well in such kind of complex codes and
some MV tags make trouble, if your codes is very complex and deep. If I
try such kind of codes like

va=leftside_category=[loop-data categories line]

working and I get no success, I use a work around to get any complex
codes working. The first step is to test the result of some codes in
your page like

The result is : [loop-data categories line]<BR>

to see what I get. The second step to get the result of the above tag
into another MV tag is to us

[set name="dummy" interpolate=1][loop-data categories line][/set]

and to use it as

va=leftside_category=[scratch dummy]

This is my suggestions only!
