Description
I thought from reading the documentation that when I create new rule sets I should be able to use them as "actions" with Triggers. But when I go and look at the actions settings page (/admin/settings/actions) the only Rule Set I see there is the default one (Rule Set Example working with content). Is this something that isn't implemented in the Drupal 6 version yet or am I misunderstanding the documentation

I don't know how rule sets work, but this probably has to do with the documentation. :)
Perhaps a video would help people with this complex feature.

No, you get only a rules action.

Mapping actions back to core actions might be a nice feature though - in particular for rule sets, as you could wrap any rules into an action.

i am also puzzled with how rule sets work, but i think that they show up on the rule actions only if the claimed variable (the one defined upon rule set creation) is available at that time.
very confusing...

If your rule set depends on a specific thing, like a node or a user it will not appear as an action if that object is not present in your rule.
So, easiest way to solve that is to load a node or load a user by id in your rule and then any rule sets needing nodes or users will appear
