Standard templates not used when no override exists

I've been following the very useful and helpful tutorial http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/building_an_ez_publish_site (although I'm slightly miffed that as a newbie I had to spend 30mins in the forums just to find it) and I'm having a real problem with the standard templates although all my overrides and self made templates are fine.
As an example once I get to http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/building_an_ez_publish_site/the_guestbook/the_input_template and test it without adding my own input template, although I should be seeing the standard template all I get is the header, then menu (news members etc) and then the footer, all content in the main content area is missing.
I've skipped the tutorial on a bit and created a folder under the root node called links and stuck a couple of subfolders in it, when I go to mysite.com/index.php/tscm/links debug shows a warning:eztemplate 'no template could be found for "node/view/full.tpl" using resource design'.

It's really annoying me, becuase whilst it's all fine once I've set up new templates and overrides I really dislike the fact that underneath is a problem I have no solution for.

Any ideas as to where I should be looking to get this sorted?

Ez 3.3 - Apache 1.3.24 - php 4.3.0 - mysql 3.23.49 on xp pro.

Hi,

It seems like you have overrided the folder templates at your override.ini.append settings
but EZP fails opening the override for whatever reason (a cache uncleaned , or a bad definition of the override)

Have you checked up both ?

Hi, cheers for the timely answer, thought I'd have to wait until after the weekend.

I've got the caching turned off in site.ini.append, and I've cleared them manually to be sure, and still have the same problem.
I don't think it's a problem opening the overrides becuase overrides I've created work, it's that I'm not getting the standard templates for folders when there are no overrides set.

i.e. I have a folder under the root called links with 2 subfolders, if I go to blah.com/index.php/tscm/links I get no dynamic content when I should get content using the standard node/view/full.tpl shouldn't I?

I don't think I've overriden the standard templates sitewide only those for particular classes/sections, and I know that the server has correct access to all the files.
