Drupal is making me feel like a complete retard. I'm sure this is quite simple but how to do this is eluding me.

I'm trying to create a hierarchical menu along the lines of...

Citrus
-Lemons
-Oranges
--Mandarin
Apple

I created a vocabulary called citrus and terms lemons and oranges and a vocabulary apple. I created some sample content (story) on lemons, oranges, and apples and gave each story a url alias. I created two links in Primary Links called Citrus and Apple and gave them url alias. This all sort of works. When you click on Citrus you do get all the content of lemons, oranges, and mandarin but the breadcrumbs only show home. I've tried installing various modules (CCK, Menu Breadcrumb, Taxonomy Menu, Views, etc) but in turning them on and off and trying different things I think I've completely screwed everything up.

So the question is what is the proper way of creating a hierarchical menu where the breadcrumbs work and is there a good way of automating the alias creation (make the alias the title?)?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Drupal doesn't create breadcrumbs based on the taxonomy structure by default, you'll need either Custom Breadcrumbs or Taxonomy Context (currently only for 5.x).

Taxonomy Context can also build a block for each vocab with a hierarchical list of all the terms in the vocab. If you decide to use Taxonomy Context for the breadcrumbs, you need to go to Content types > Your Content Type > and enable "Show taxonomy breadcrumb".
