Issue Summary
I've installed nodequeue and can get it to work quite happily, adding and removing things from the queue. However I am perplexed by user queues. I have enabled these, and created a queue, but cannot find any way to add things to it! I thought they should be created automatically for the user, but cannot find them anywhere.
Any hints as to how this ought to work would be very welcome.

It seems like your question is about the Smartqueue per-user module, the Nodequeue.module add-on, correct? I'm moving this issue to that queue.
I'm sorry that you found this hard to set up. I'm changing the title of this issue to reflect the need for setup instructions in the README.txt .
In the meantime, to set up per-user queues, once you've added the Smarqueue per-user queue at admin/content/nodequeue, you'll want to edit that queue, select the user roles that should have a per-user queue, check the "Create new NodeQueues" box, and click submit. The module should create subqueues for users of those roles and the "add/remove" links should display in $links array for nodes eligible for a per-user queue. Note that if you've checked "Hide other users' add/remove links from administrators" box on the queue edit screen, administrators will not see links for other users queues, even if the admins have access to them. I hope that helps!

Many thanks - that did the trick! I was confused because I thought "Smart Queue Author" should be doing what "Smartqueue users" does. So I still don't know now what "Smart Queue Author" actually does do.
However I have come across what seems to me to be a bug in the integration of Smartqueue users and Views. On my test site (thanks to your advice) I now have three subqueues created under the queue "Authors", one for each of the authors. I want to create a View for each of these authors based on the node queue.
When I build the View, I find (as I expect) under "Filters" a filter called Subqueues for Authors". However, the choices for the filter value are the list of all the QUEUES instead of the list of the SUBQUEUES for "Authors" which is what I would expect. Is this indeed a bug or did I misunderstand something?

You can use the subqueue id or reference filters to filter down to a specific subqueue. Provided with a qid a user id (the reference of the subqueue) you should be able to target a specific subqueue. This is really a separate support request so please followup in new issue if necessary.
