Ok, I've been trying to work out a way to use my vocabularies and terms to get some 'deep' paths that are logical and user friendly like those already used in drupals administration navigation such as:

http://localhost/drupal/admin/build/contact/settings

Thats many layers deep but I can't figure out a way to do that automatically with pathauto. I only am able to do that by manually inputting a custom path on each individual page that I make. That's not going to be possible for me to do as I will ultimately have many pages. I need pathauto to create paths many layers deep like those used by the administration pages, but I can only get the category followed by the page title, like so:

http://localhost/drupal/games/game-a

Thats as deep as the category goes. I suppose I need to put categories within categories, but that doesnt seem possible.

What am i missing here?

AFAIK, this is not yet possible. You can track the feature here: http://drupal.org/node/185446

So are the paths used in the admin menu and all that just entered in manually rather than generated then?

If thats the case... yikes. I would have imagined that this would be critical to many sites.

AFAIK, pathauto doesn't touch the admin urls. Those are a product of enabling "clean urls" which are changed from "http://www.example.com/?q=admin/settings/performance" to "http://www.example.com/admin/settings/performance"

You can do some things with the URLs via Views arguments, but those deal with groups of nodes rather than individual nodes (great for creating indexes).
