Sorry, bad mv_metadata definition for that catalog. This will be corrected
as I totally revamp the layout editor.

In the interim:

    1. Log in as a super user to the UI.
    2. Make sure you turn on meta links:

	    Quicklinks -> Preferences -> link at bottom

    3. Navigate to the Item editor
       --- Edit any item.
       --- Follow the "meta" link for the field "category".

    4. mv_metadata editor for products::category
       --- select widget type "Combo select"
       --- select filter type "Null select"
       --- Click OK button

    5. Navigate back to the item editor. 

At that point, you should be able to type in any text and it will
show up as a new category.
