This could have something to do with your Perl or database setup. Are you 
using the internal db or an external one (such as MySQL) for the state 
table (i.e. do you have state.sql or state.gdbm in your products/ dir)? Are 
you saying the shipping selector on the checkout page is empty? Does it 
work with the country table (which is the default setup)?
