What is the Page ID of the page you are applying the template to? By
default the Typoscript points to PID 1. 


# Top horizontal dropdown menu
#######################################
subparts.TOPNAV = HMENU
subparts.TOPNAV.special = directory
subparts.TOPNAV.special.value = 1 <----- this value


# Vertical Navigation
#######################################
subparts.VERTNAV = HMENU 
subparts.VERTNAV.1 = TMENU
subparts.VERTNAV.special = directory
subparts.VERTNAV.special.value = 1     <-------- this value


Hold your mouse over the first page in the menutree (the icon) after a few
seconds the page id  will show. Put that number where the arrows are.

maybe that is your problem?
