You haven't given much information about your environment so I'm just making a guess here.

I'm hosting my drupal sites on a shared linux environment using apache as the web server. I have a single drupal installation that is currently hosting 4 primary websites and a "staging" website that has 4 sub-directories under it.

For example:

http://www.domain1.com
http://www.domain2.com
http://staging.mydomain.com/site1
http://staging.mydomain.com/site2

I setup all of the directories within the sites directory according to the readme you referenced above.

To get the sub-directories (i.e. site1 and site2) to work, I had to create a symbolic link that pointed to the webroot, using the linux ln command:

ln -s . site1

An easier way to do this would be to create a virtual directory on the apache server and point it to your webroot. (Although in my situation I don't have access to the apache ocnfiguration files to be able to do that.)

I hope that helps.
