I always love seeing answer from people who never actually paid attention to the
question... Since he created the catalog from scratch he never ran makecat.

Brandon,

Look in your catalog.cfg file and make sure you have the following paramters:

SpecialPage  catalog   index
SpecialPage  order     ord/basket
SpecialPage  checkout  ord/checkout
SpecialPage  report    ../etc/report
SpecialPage  receipt   ../etc/receipt

They define the basket and checkout pages.

ALWAYS VERY NICE to see someone creating a catalog from scratch! This will put
you well on your way to be a competitent Interchange user.
