How did you create the product groups, Did you go through the design
tab. Make some product groups and categories via the "Design" tab in
the Admin UI.  If you did that already then you probably forgot to
select "all" or "left" or both when it ask you for "page class" and
stuff. Make sure you click all and left so you actually highlight them
and select them.

You could add more menus by editing the template files
LeftOnly, LeftRight, Noleft (i think those are the names)
however, the menus on the foundation use images. so I would recommend
to you to make all new images or simply use text only. otherwise you
will need to edit those .gif files and that usually doesnt out looking
too well. Maybe you can ask the developers for the original raw and
uncut image file so that you can just change the text and export it to
a .gif.
well 
good luck,
tom
