I have been using version 2.1 of the maven-site-plugin all along; When I had no 
site.xml file, I got all my menu items and they all worked. Now, without the 
site.xml file, the 'site' build fails as described. With the site.xml file 
detailed below, the 'site' build succeeds, however the resulting site has no 
links at all on the left hand side. :|

Which version of the Site Plugin are you using?
There is a bug in version 2.1 about missing menu links.
