Category: "Parents field is required." everytime a container is edited

Having the same problem here, when adding or editing a container. Only difference for me (aside from the container name obviously!) is that the error is occuring in the group after the 'container information' group.

To be honest, I'm very new to Drupal/Category, and am pretty confused by the actual purpose and use of the 'Categories' group as shown in the screenshot attached. I don't see any mention of this group in any of the (somewhat outdated) tutorials on the Category module site, and there's no inline description of what I'm supposed to be doing in these select boxes. (in my screenshot, the fields are called "sections" and "subsections", which are my containers).

Anyhoo, the problem for me is that the second selectlist is empty, so there's no way for me to select and save without getting the error...

Any ideas? (probably not a bug, just a bad setting somewhere).

I assume you are talking about the 'parent' field being empty. That's a bug with a small patch available. Check out this http://drupal.org/node/121524 for more info to see if that's your issue.
