Just comment out (or remove) the line 'include etc/after.cfg' in your 
catalog.cfg.

Apparently the idea was to provide a simple way to modify the cfg based on the 
type of demo the user wanted, i.e.: retail only, wholesale & retail, etc., when 
running makecat or using some kind of config wizard.  But the core team agrees 
that it is just causing too much confusion and I understand it is to be removed 
in the next release.

See my note above for this and the rest of your message.
