Hope the deadline hasn't passed and so this is still useful!

That sounds strange. Have you definitely got your chapters and things
selected as the versions sans asterisk? I think only the numbered
entries will show up in your TOC. Also, have you definitely got a
title page in? I had a problem before where my TOC field had ended up
in the author field, causing all sorts of problems. Might be worthing
deleting it and adding it in again a little later in the document,
just to see if something along those lines is the problem

Sorry, no ideas here

Me too, but hopefully that helped anyway!
