Hi Ben,
Basically, I wanted to understand first how googlebase works and then to discover if I have done anything wrong with ur contri.
I followed all the instructions in the tutorial of googlebase and I managed to create the required txt/csv file. After 24h I can see my products in http://www.google.com/base/. In the "Status" column of my "Active Items" says "Published and searchable". As far as I understand I have to wait 24h again, to search my products in http://www.google.com/products/.
Then I tried to compare the formats of both txt and they were not similar.
