Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am logged in as UID 1. I'm afraid to upgrade because I have so many modules that took so much time to figure out how to get them to work together just right (every checkbox had to be ticked off just right). I can't be sure they will work right again after the upgrade! 
The administration menus are built based on certain arrays, since you can navigate to admin/store/settings/uc_rss_feed then i guess the arrays are built ok.
I can't actually navigate there. I just figured out to type that into my browser by looking at your module code. But I can't figure out more.
