All of your group links are unqualified.

So:

	%sidehead% [[Knowledge_Base]]

should probably be:

	%sidehead% [[Knowledge_Base(.HomePage)]]

or:

	%sidehead% [[Knowledge_Base(.Knowledge_Base)]]

Depending on your grouppage names.


Same goes for:

	%sidehead% [[Action_Items]]
	%sidehead% [[Pending_Issues]]
	%sidehead% [[Monthly Report Queue]]
