- I assume you have verified that the tags you inserted can be found in the 
db? SELECT * FROM Tags WHERE id=...
TagsTree is not critical, there are triggers in the database that usually 
insert new tags into that structure

- Your tags have a valid parent? I mean, a tag must have root as grandparent 
somewhere up in the hierarchy. But you would have warning messages in the 
console then.
