Make CCK Slideshow work with list/table views

I'm having trouble getting my slideshow to appear in a View. I might be confused about how it's supposed to work, but based on what the Project page says, I think/hope I'm on the right track -- "These formatters are used in two places in particular: the CCK display settings and in a view (provided by the views.module)."

The slideshow works perfect as expected if I enable it for a node/content type and look at the node in question, but the output of the custom View page/block I've made (in list view), which includes the requisite image field and slideshow formatter option, outputs nothing but the empty surrounding HTML tags, and no image fields, no slideshow. I've tried both with an un-themed and themed view with the same results. I've also tried both page and block views. Without the "CCK Slideshow" option, the image fields print into the view output like normal... with the option on, nothing prints at all. I've tried with "group multiple values" and "do not group multiple values".

HTML output for un-themed view:

<div class='view view-Latest-Photos'><div class='view-content view-content-Latest-Photos'><div class="item-list"><ul><li><div class='view-item view-item-Latest-Photos'><div class='view-field view-data-node-data-field-album-images-field-album-images-fid'></div></div>
</li></ul></div></div></div>

HTML output for basic themed view:

<div class='view view-Latest-Photos'><div class='view-content view-content-Latest-Photos'><div class="item-list"><ul><li></li></ul></div></div></div>

I've also tried adding this code snippet to my themed view, with no luck:
(my multiple-value image field is called "field_album_images")

<?php
print $node->content['field_album_images']['#value']
?>

I noticed that on a view, unlike a node page that has the CCK Slideshow on it, the custom CSS and Javascript isn't added to the header of the page... to test whether this was the problem, I copied the code out of the source from a node and pasted it into the head of my page.tpl.php file. I then reloaded the view page, but there was still no change (probably since there were no image fields printed out of course). I also saw that the additional jQuery .js files weren't loaded on the view the way they were on the node, so no clue about that.

As another test, though it causes the slideshow to appear on the node (which in this case I "don't" want, as I'm trying to display a grid of thumbnails on the node - the slideshow is just for my "latest photos" view-based page), I've also tried enabling cck_slideshow in the Display options for my image field. This has no effect on the View whether enabled or not.

Here's an export of my view... maybe I'm doing something wrong that you'll be able to notice:

  $view = new stdClass();
  $view->name = 'Latest_Photos';
  $view->description = 'Latest photos, drawn from the image field of the most recent Photo Album node.';
  $view->access = array (
);
  $view->view_args_php = '';
  $view->page = TRUE;
  $view->page_title = 'Latest Photos';
  $view->page_header = '';
  $view->page_header_format = '1';
  $view->page_footer = '';
  $view->page_footer_format = '1';
  $view->page_empty = '';
  $view->page_empty_format = '1';
  $view->page_type = 'list';
  $view->url = 'media/latest-photos';
  $view->use_pager = FALSE;
  $view->nodes_per_page = '1';
  $view->sort = array (
  );
  $view->argument = array (
  );
  $view->field = array (
    array (
      'tablename' => 'node_data_field_album_images',
      'field' => 'field_album_images_fid',
      'label' => '',
      'handler' => 'content_views_field_handler_group',
      'options' => 'cck_slideshow',
    ),
  );
  $view->filter = array (
    array (
      'tablename' => 'node',
      'field' => 'status',
      'operator' => '=',
      'options' => '',
      'value' => '1',
    ),
    array (
      'tablename' => 'node',
      'field' => 'type',
      'operator' => 'OR',
      'options' => '',
      'value' => array (
  0 => 'photo_album',
),
    ),
  );
  $view->exposed_filter = array (
  );
  $view->requires = array(node_data_field_album_images, node);
  $views[$view->name] = $view;

Anyhow, whew :P more than I was planning on writing haha. Hope this helps. Thanks in advance for any help you can give, and thanks for the great module :)
